Try the “Recycled on behalf of the Producer” calculator, which shows concretely how much impact taking care of producer responsibility can have.
The producer responsibility organisations Akkukierrätys Pb Oy and Recser Oy have jointly developed an interactive recycling calculator to measure the positive environmental impacts of recycling through producer responsibility systems.
Recycling batteries and accumulators prevents hazardous substances from entering the environment, and by using recycled materials, the harmful environmental and social impacts of metal mining are reduced.
Members of the producer responsibility organisations can enter their market placement data into the calculator and receive information on the environmental impact of recycling the batteries and accumulators they have placed on the market. The calculator shows how many natural resources are recovered when batteries are collected and recycled properly. The results can be used, for example, to support corporate responsibility reporting.
The calculator was developed in cooperation with the software company AskKauko.
