Protecting the environment

Dry cell batteries

Dry cell batteries represent a significant contribution to toxic waste contamination and environmental pollution. A large percentage of these end up in landfill sites.

E waste

Used electronic products are the most rapidly growing problem in our waste stream due to their quantity and toxicity. This is E-waste. We are generating 2,630,000 Tons of e-waste annually and growing. 2.3 million tons of this ends up in landfills or incinerators.

You have a choice - you can avoid electronics where there is a better alternative - you can also avoid the use of energy intensive, environment contaminating dry cells. The baggage scale is super light - has no batteries - and produces no E-waste. It is a friend to the environment.
