Ni-Cd

The Ni-Cd battery is a type of galvanic cell that has been gradually replaced by newer technologies due to its lower energy density and higher capacity. A problematic feature of Ni-Cd batteries is the toxicity of cadmium, when improper processing can lead to soil and water pollution.

Recycling reduces the risk of cadmium being released into the environment, as well as the opportunity to recover these valuable metals that can be reused in the production of new batteries or other products. In this way, recycling helps minimize the negative impact on the environment and conserve the natural resources of our planet.
