Better Battery Co is also a member of 1% for the Planet. This means 1% of revenues goes to helping the planet.
Is this company even Canadian?
Also… rechargeable batteries.
I had to dig but this is them I think looks like Ontario based.
The only place you can buy their stuff in CAD is on Amazon and I’ve deleted my amazon account for what they did in Quebec. They may be in Canada but they’re making it hard for me to support them.
Yeah ditto for me re:amazon. Oh well…
Rechargeable batteries have been a thing for 30+ years. We have old battery collection points in most super markets.
What problem does this solve?
Well, the shareholders want money. So it could solve that problem.
uhm… there are no shares for that company.
If it’s privately owned, there are owners who want to make money. If it’s a nonprofit, there are employees who want a paycheque.
Even if you personally disagree with the business, given the current tarriff war, we should still be buying Canadian or encouraging others to buy Canadian.
Yeah you don’t need to over pay on batteries to recycle them just take them to your local recycling center… GREENWASH
I don’t know a single person that takes their batteries to be recycled though
More of an education problem. Which won’t really be fixed by this… Right like I don’t know anyone who is going to pay extra for these batteries for something they already don’t care about.
Depends on where you live… Like in Mississauga this is a non-starter due to local programs. I think it has a better chance of targeting rich Americans that don’t have these local recycling programs and are more susceptible to paying to greenwash.
Our apartment building has a bucket in the lobby for old batteries. Those go to the recycling place every year or whenever anyone is going that way.
