Designed and developed by a UK-based company, BatRecycle provides individuals and organisations with the means to actively contribute to a safer environment, whilst saving them money at the same time.
In European Union member states, the ‘Battery Directive’ set minimum targets for the collection of waste batteries. By September 2012, 25% of batteries sold had to be recycled. This increased to 45% by September 2016. BatRecycle promotes higher annual recycling and collection returns, thereby helping to reduce the amount of batteries sent to landfill.
In the UK alone, over 1 billion consumer batteries are purchased every year. Figures suggest that only only a small percentage of those batteries are recycled.
The situation in the UK is reflected in other parts of the world.
BatRecycle Smart Battery Disposal is a global product that helps all countries make more efficient use of batteries and at the same time ensures they go only for approved recycling rather than creating long-term contamination in landfill sites.
