What Turns You On?
I love windup because it doesn't take anything from the environment to turn on and I can count on the item working with a little wrist action.
There is a plethora of products available that use windup energy. Everything from toys to flashlights and radios. The main alternatives are resource high electricity and portable batteries. But, if you're turned on by batteries, there are new measures to help make it easier to dispose of them.
Effective 1st February 2010 regulations covering collecting, recycling and reprocessing portable batteries came into force. Which means, in battery terms, any member of the public can return waste batteries to any shop that sells in excess of 32kg of batteries per year.
If you are a business that uses portable batteries, your supplier will operate a take back scheme.
The disposal of waste industrial batteries and automobile batteries in landfill and by incineration is banned. The battery producer or automotive garage will take back used batteries when you buy a new one and will dispose of them accordingly.
For more information on how to dispose of batteries, contact your local council.
To avoid all of this, get turned on by windup.
