Information on Battery Bins

The battery bin works by helping eliminate the possibility of the batteries causing a fire as a result of a reaction with one another.  In a workplace where batteries are used and replaced on a frequent basis, this could be the difference between life and death.  Other suppliers provide products made of plastic and cardboard which are both highly flammable and may actually increase the chance of fire.  The battery bin is completely fire retardant to UK Government Standards so therefore helps eliminate any risk to the people working in the surrounding areas.

Fire prevention, when dealing with batteries is incredibly important as it not only saves lives but can also prevent damage to your premises and equipment.

The UK is required to meet the European Battery Directive, which requires that the UK recycles 25% of household batteries by 2012, rising to 45% in 2016.  Considering the current battery recycling rate in the UK is 2%, peoples attitudes will have to change.  This will result in batteries being segregated from other waste into their own bins more often, making a dedicated battery bin essential.

All our fire retardant battery bins have been tested to the relevant UK Government technical memo standards for fire retardancy and non-flammability.

In addition, we are ISO 9001:2000 certified for both the manufacture and supply of waste bins and sackholders which guarantees the upmost professional standards.
