Today I will be unboxing batteries and not rechargeable batteries. These are
your standard run-of-the-mill plain jane
alkaline batteries, but there is something special about them. So, I'm
going to go ahead and point at it. Earth friendly landfill safe. So, these are
batteries that are supposedly ecoresponsible. They contain 0% cadmium,
lead, and mercury. And they are digital
alkaline batteries, by the way. And they are landfill safe, meaning that they are
there. It is patent pending leak resist
seal. They are equipped with a patent pending leak resist seal. So today, more
and more people are mindful about the products they use every day and their associated environmental impact and
global warming contributions. Here we have a CO2 carbon footprint jiggy. By
purchasing eco-aline batteries, you're doing your part to reduce the CO2 and
climate change impact brought about by the production, distribution, and disposable alkaline batteries. Asterex
does not take a stance on the global warming issue. So, you know, just
throwing that out there, but I'm just telling you guys what the manufacturer
has to say. Ecoalkine batteries are progressive, high-quality consumer
batteries with performance rivaling national leading alkaline battery brands. Interesting. Okay. Do not
recharge these batteries. If they are recharged, then they will break. Okay.
And woo, there they are. Okay. So, hold on. Hold on. Let me get them. Let me get
them all opened. Let me see what else they have to Oh, okay. I'm making a
total mess here. Let me see what else they have to say for themselves. So,
they are certified carbon neutral and the world's first, but I'm going to find
where that asterisk goes and I'm going to find out what it's all about. Hold
on. Where does it go?
Um, okay. I can't find it. Okay.
Aboutcarbonfund.org. So, leading nonprofit provider of carbon offset and
climate solutions organizations make it easy to Okay. Uh, carbon offset enables
individuals working with carbon which has the first carbon neutral product label in the US. Ecoalkine batteries are
certified carbon neutral. Okay. So here's all the details. The asterisk doesn't go anywhere in particular. It
just refers to the pamphlet itself. So here are the test results which you can
view online showing the EcoAkalines versus Duracell Energizer and Kirkland.
That's the Costco brand of all things. Okay. We've also got uh the pretty much
the same stuff that we covered on the back of the box and the front of the
box. And today consumers are more aware
of the environmental impact of the products they use every day. Created by
the manu alkaline batteries in Canada. Wow, look at that. More than
296 million car kilm equivalent of CO2
are created by the manufacturer, distribution, use, and disposal of alkaline batteries in Canada. All other
batteries carry at least one of the three elements above. That means
cadmium, lead, and mercury. Other brands may limit the usage by maintaining
levels below the 0.9% that allows them to be called free, but these harmful
chemicals are still present. Interesting. That's up to 900 times more
dangerous materials than eco batteries. Ecoalkine brand batteries have zero of
these heavy metals. I mean that to me is more than almost anything else the big
thing here. I mean there's the carbon neutral stuff. There's the not leaking
which is well actually critical but then the fact that they don't contain the
heavy metals in the first place and if they can still provide the same
performance that you're going to get from another alkaline battery then great
why not. So guys, thanks for checking out my little unboxing and preview or
feature or whatever you want to call it of the Eco Alkaline batteries. And don't
