Battery compliance
Battery compliance services for producers, importers and distributors of batteries or battery products.
Hassle-free battery compliance
Producers and distributors are required to take responsibility for the collection, treatment, and recycling of batteries. Similar to WEEE and Packaging regulations, these rules aim to increase recycling rates and ensure batteries are handled safely and sustainably.
At Biffa, we make it easy for producers and distributors to meet their obligations under the Battery and Accumulator Regulations. Whether you’re placing portable, automotive, or industrial batteries on the UK market, we handle all aspects of reporting, registration, and recycling, ensuring full compliance with minimal effort on your part.
Our comprehensive battery compliance services include:
Reporting the volume of batteries in the UK market
Under the regulations producers and distributors have an obligation to report on the amount of portable, automotive, and industrial batteries they have placed in the UK market. If you make or import batteries or products that contain batteries (such as phone or laptops) in to the UK, then you may also be required to report on volumes.
Registering for a Battery Compliance Scheme
Small producers of portable batteries (1 tonne and over) need to join a Battery Compliance Scheme. Producers of industrial and automotive batteries must register directly with the Environment Agency. Retailers also need to offer a takeback service if they sell more than 32kgs of portable batteries per year per store.
Donate surplus to Company Shop
Members of the 91¶¶ÒùBattery Compliance Scheme can also donate or sell surplus stock to our surplus redistribution subsidiary, Company Shop. This helps to further reduce waste and deliver a return on goods that would normally be thrown away.
