The research covers the first worldwide study of the environmental impact of disposable (alkaline) batteries versus rechargeable batteries (Ni-MH). Rechargeable batteries have up to 28 times less impact on climate warming than disposable batteries. This ratio can mainly be explained by the impact caused when manufacturing disposable batteries and distributing them (transportation in trucks and the related greenhouse gas emissions).
