Fuji recently introduced one of the first eco-respectful, high-performance batteries on the market — Fuji EnviroMAX™.

The battery line, which comes in Super Alkaline and Digital Alkaline varieties, was awarded the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval for its “Impressive Performance” and “Environmentally Respectful Manufacturing Process” as well as the iParenting Media Award for “Outstanding Product”.

Fuji EnviroMAX batteries bring long-awaited peace-of-mind to consumers who “live green” when choosing consumable products.  The batteries:

  • do NOT contain poisonous cadmium, lithium, or mercury
  • are packaged with recycled paper and fully recyclable PET plastic
  • can be harmlessly disposed of through normal waste systems
  • do not contain ingredients harmful to the environment
  • are landfill safe as they degrade
  • equal or exceed performance/longevity of major equivalent brands
  • offer outstanding performance at an affordable cost

The Super Alkaline are available in AA, AAA, C, and D (MSRP $3.99), and are for the most common applications such as toys, remotes, or flashlights. The Digital Alkaline are available in AA, AAA (MSRP $5.99) and are engineered to provide superior performance in high-drain electronic devices such as digital cameras, radios and video games.

Fuji would like to give one lucky Lipstick to Crayons reader an Enviromax Battery Pack including 1 package of AAA batteries,1 package of AA batteries, 1 package of C batteries, and 1 package of D batteries, valued at $30. Read the contest guidelines below:
