Average household has 97 batteries
The average Dutch household has 97 full and empty batteries, according to research by the retail board. In 2006 122 million used batteries were handed in, some 83% of the total.
The retail organisation has agreed that all shops selling batteries will also provide a bin for spent batteries from September.
