Ten thousand environmentally
friendly bags LOHAS and great many of attractive gifts will be offered to those
who join the program by putting their used batteries into the collection bin at
the supermarket. All off the collected used batteries will be processed by Viet
Uc Environment Joint-stock company in conformity with law regulations.
"Batteries
are popular artifacts. According to statistical figures, each family
approximately has 10 to 15 battery-powered devices so battery wastes released in
the environment are in huge number. They are so useful for our life, however;
improperly processing the used batteries may harm the environment. When buried
and burnt, the heavy metals contained in them will infiltrate into soil and
ground water, contaminating the air and polluting natural environment. A proper
way of processing will help to protect the environment and defend our life."
