E-Waste Recycling S.A.
Producer Responsibility Organisation
Do you introduce batteries or accumulators on the market? We’ll handle your legal obligations!
If your company places batteries or accumulators on the market – whether portable batteries, automotive batteries or industrial accumulators – you are subject to the obligations set out for battery producers under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning batteries and waste batteries. Our organization will support you in fulfilling these obligations, ensuring full legal compliance and peace of mind when it comes to environmental protection.
Not sure whether your company qualifies as a producer or what responsibilities come with that status? Below you’ll find an explanation of who is considered a “producer” and what the legal obligations are.
Definition of a producer
You are considered a battery and accumulator producer if you:
- Manufacture or import portable batteries, automotive batteries or industrial accumulators - your company is responsible for their collection, treatment and recycling.
- Place on the market equipment containing embedded batteries or accumulators - e.g., power tools, electric toys or electric vehicles.
- Import vehicles with built-in batteries - such as electric cars or e-bikes.
Your legal obligations
Under the Battery and Accumulator Act, as a producer you are required to:
Register your business in the BDO system
Before placing batteries or accumulators on the market, you must be listed in the official register. Your BDO registration number must be included on all battery-related business documents.
Maintain records of the batteries and accumulators you place on the market
This includes details such as the type and weight of each battery or accumulator introduced. Records must be stored for five years.
Collect and process waste batteries
You must ensure the collection and treatment of portable batteries, automotive batteries and industrial accumulators. This requires contracts with certified collection and processing entities.
Finance public awareness campaigns
These campaigns aim to increase environmental awareness among the public regarding the proper handling and disposal of used batteries and accumulators.
Submit annual reports
Concerning, among other details, the quantity, type and weight of batteries and accumulators placed on the market. Reports must be submitted to the Marshal Office relevant to your business location.
