Elements from Li-Ion batteries can be recycled for use in multiple industries and proper disposal of other components prevents contamination to the environment.

No Battery Left Behind
Even if you haven't purchased a NuPower laptop replacement battery, you may still send in your old laptop (and even iPod) battery and NewerTech will make sure it receives proper recycling and disposal. Simply address your postage paid packages to:

How We Recycle Batteries
Our battery recycling program is two fold; whenever possible, we pursue any possibilities of refurbishing batteries and giving them a new life.
The second phase is what happens to the actual battery components. For the batteries we receive that are at the end of their useful life, we send them to a battery-handling specialty company that ensures the various cells and components are separated, so that the li-ion cells are properly disposed of and all recoverable materials are recycled. What is recovered varies by battery – but typically, the PCB, plastic housing, and metal casings are recouped scrap from the process. The most important aspect of our program is that it prevents these batteries from ending up in landfills –where the toxic chemicals, mainly Lithium Ion, would otherwise eventually escape from the cells where it can then cause environmental harm. Older batteries may also contain mercury, which is even more damaging even in small quantities.

Proactive Protection
In addition to our commitment to helping you properly recycle your used laptop and iPod batteries, NewerTech is dedicated to proactively protecting the environment.  Every NuPower laptop battery and batteries for iPod in production today is manufactured Mercury-free.  Further, NewerTech’s Intelligent Battery Charger/Conditioners extend the useful life of Apple, NewerTech, or third party laptop batteries, reducing the number of batteries consumers need to discard in the first place.
