The can crusher does exactly what it says on the tin, squashing your aluminium drinks cans down so that they save space in your recycling. It may look like a boring recycling gadget but crushing drinks cans turns out to be a huge amount of fun as well, and you may well find yourself buying a cheeky Fanta just so you can squash it down once you’ve finished it!

Product Description
TODAY, THE POLLUTION CAUSED BY BATTERIES IS ONE OF THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE DISPOSAL.
They contain a number of heavy metals (Aluminium – Cadmium – Mercury – Nickel – Lead – Iron – Zinc – Calcium – Magnesium – Lithium), some of which are highly toxic for humans, animals and plants. They pollute the soil and poison ground water. To avoid this, it is important to dispose of them in specially provided recycling containers.
The use of rechargeable batteries considerably reduces the impact on the environment compared to single use, disposable batteries. In fact, the use of one rechargeable battery in some applications can replace the use of up to 1000 disposable batteries. Therefore using rechargeable batteries significantly reduces the consumption of raw materials, and the quantity of batteries to collect and recycle.
Opting for rechargeable batteries and recycling them at the end of their life is a simple step that all eco-citizens can take to preserve the quality of our environment.
