Recycling Batteries Responsibly
-
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
-
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer’s responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
-
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung’s behalf.

galaxy alpha
I love this product, Ive been waiting for Samsung to bring a product like this to the market having owned S2, S3, S4 and note 3 and finally a nexus 5.
The battery last me all day which is brilliant, like to say I have a work phone as well but even then when Im on Constance use its still awesome, I think theres far too many features and Im only saying this as I had a nexus 5 which is so slick and no lag I but hey with the touch whiz on top its still better than I expected. The form factor and having metal makes it a better product and look so premium. Overall I think its perfect phone for me, there are room for improvements as always like the cost.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs iPhone 5S comparison review
The Galaxy Alpha comes it at around £500 (which is more than the Galaxy S5 despite mostly downgraded specs). Nevertheless, that means it's cheaper than the iPhone 5S which hasn't got any cheaper since launching. It will set you back at least £549 for...

Samsung Galaxy Alpha preview: First look
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a surprising change in the Samsung product strategy. It certainly has many of the Galaxy S5 key selling features, while staking on more premium material such as aluminum. But it's not another flagship, no, it's rather an...
