PROBLEM: Batteries needlessly clutter the corners of junk drawers everywhere. We know they’re toxic for landfill, but can’t find the time to recycle them, let alone remember which ones are dead! Not anymore.
SOLUTION: Thanks to CHEMI's fresh new packaging, recycling batteries is as easy as tossing them in the mailbox instead of the trash.
HOW IT WORKS: Push new batteries out of the bottom of the box, and slide your old used batteries in through the top. An indicator in the pack will keep fresh batteries and used ones separated. When the indicator reaches the bottom of the pack, you won't be able to dispense any more batteries. Now that your Chemi box is filled with used batteries, just remove the sticker on the back to reveal the prepaid shipping label, and place the whole shebang in your mailbox. Bye bye dead batteries!
Bring a little chemistry to your junk drawer and pick up a box of CHEMI.
