Every year, more than 15 billion disposable batteries are thrown away worldwide. The vast majority end up in landfill, where their casings slowly corrode and release heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, and lead into the surrounding soil and groundwater.
A hidden environmental cost
Single-use batteries are convenient, but that convenience hides an enormous footprint. Mining the raw materials, manufacturing each cell for a single life, shipping them around the world, and then processing the waste all consume energy and generate emissions — for a product designed to be discarded within weeks.
One rechargeable replaces hundreds
A single Strike rechargeable battery can replace up to 1,200 disposable cells over its lifetime. That is 1,200 fewer batteries mined, manufactured, shipped, and dumped. Switching even a handful of your household devices to rechargeables makes a measurable difference.
The simple switch
You do not need to change how you live — just what powers your devices. Rechargeable batteries drop straight into the gadgets you already own, and with USB-C charging built in, topping them up is as easy as charging your phone. It is one of the easiest sustainability wins available to any household.
