Even in countries where recyclable material is collected and regular batteries can be thrown as recyclable waste, each time a set of batteries are purchased and used there is paper waste produced by disposing the packets these regular batteries come in.
Take for example these batteries pictured in their packaging below:
While those batteries pictured above are recyclable, the package they can be seen in are not and so each time you buy regular batteries such as those you produce package waste.
But by buying rechargeable batteries pictured below, you produce waste only once after you buy it. By recharging these batteries each time they run out of power, you don't need to buy new ones and throw their packets each time. This reduces a significant amount of packaged waste.
The most ecological rechargeable batteries are Ni-MH rechargeable units (Nickel-metal hydride), which are the current state-of-the-art in rechargeable battery technology.
Also you will save money by recharging the batteries instead of spending money each time to buy new ones.
