Most of us expect the products we buy online to be safe.
⚠️ But with e-bikes and batteries, it’s not always that straightforward.
There’s a lot happening behind the scenes to ensure that these products are safe.📽️ Watch the documentary now: ow.ly/kh7b50YNSWs

Every day, thousands of waste and recycling workers carry out essential jobs that most of us rarely think about, to keep our communities running safely.
But increasingly, many are facing challenges with lithium-ion batteries catching fire in bin lorries and waste facilities.

That’s why support from this sector is so important to the #BatteryBreakdown campaign and calls for stronger action across the full lifecycle of e-bikes and lithium-ion batteries, including safer disposal and recycling and consumer guidance. electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk…

New legislation could stop unsafe e-bike batteries entering the UK.
Third-party certification could stop unsafe models entering the UK market at the border.
Better enforcement and consumer education is needed. Without that, the risk remains.

E-bikes are helping more people travel more affordably and efficiently.🚴⚡But as their popularity grows, so does the importance of understanding battery safety. @londonfire firefighters recount attending a residential fire later confirmed to have started from an e-bike battery.

It's been one year since the UK's disposable vape ban, but the problem hasn't gone away. More than 2 million vapes were incorrectly discarded across just four @Biffa sites between June 2025 and March 2026.👇

⚠️6,500 vapes still end up in processing sites every day. Damaging to the environment and increasing the risk for workers at waste centres. Employees are exposed to such risk due to the lithium-ion batteries inside the vapes that can cause extremely ferocious fires if damaged.
