The GoGreen Power® Alkaline C 12pack is a smart choice for eco-conscious consumers. GoGreen makes the world's first batteries with no toxic lead, cadmium, or mercury. We need batteries to power critical devices in our lives from TV remotes to the kids' favorite toys but disposing of them in a landfill is bad for the environment. As they break down, they can leach chemicals into groundwater and release known carcinogens. These C batteries have a lifespan and performance comparable to the top brands on the market but with a green mindset. Due to the lack of these chemicals, even if the batteries do end up in landfills, they will not leak harmful chemicals into the groundwater or land. These alkaline batteries are made of manganese dioxide, & contain no cadmium or lead. It is suggested to use alkaline batteries for your high drain power devices, such as flashlights, television remotes, or even smoke detectors. By purchasing this pack of 12 alkaline batteries, you not only will get a high-quality product; but also get ecological peace of mind with hassle-free recycling. We offer free recycling and free shipping back of the used product to our recycling facility. Please view the recycling code and instructions on the back of the package and visit the GoGreen Power® website for additional information.
