New Battery and Waste Battery Regulations
New battery contents, marking and waste regulations now apply and H-Squared can support you towards meeting any obligations you may have.
- All batteries supplied by H-Squared meet the contents and marking requirements of the regulations.
- If you manufacture or import batteries into the UK then you may be a producer and be required to join one of the approved Battery Compliance Schemes.
- If you sell batteries to end users then you should contact one of the approved Battery Compliance Schemes to set up collection arrangements.
- If you have waste general purpose portable batteries then you can return them to any battery retailer or distributor that allows such access.
- Alternative arrangements may also be available. H-Squared has teamed up with BatteryBack, one of the larger Compliance Schemes, for their support with battery disposal. Please contact them directly for further information.
- If you have waste industrial batteries (batteries solely for use in professional devices), then the producer will provide further details about disposal.
See the attached document for further details.
