<p>In an increasingly environmental and sustainability-focused world, why are we still allowed to buy single-use batteries?</p>



<p><a href="https://amzn.to/2RTOXJT">Rechargeable batteries</a> have been around my entire life, but it feels like sales power and consumer-convenience of the Duracell Bunny has dominated.</p>



<p>I know that single-use batteries are solid performers during their single-life, but the amount of waste produced can’t be good!</p>



<p>Single-use batteries are also widely recycled, but I&#8217;m convinced that most people just throw them away as they can&#8217;t be bothered!&#8230; Time for a change &#8211; and some law/regulation around the whole lot (although in post-Brexit times this could be a LONG way off).</p>



<p>I only transitioned over to a simple <a href="https://amzn.to/37tWdma">AA / AAA battery charger</a> and batteries last year. Better late than never.</p>
