Simplifying the recycling of portable batteries
Our solutions cover all aspects of battery recycling and can simplify processes for all businesses, small to large.
If you place one or more tonnes of portable batteries on the UK market, you need to join a compliance scheme for example ERP UK. This is to contribute to the costs of recycling a percentage of these batteries.
Producers must register within 28 days of putting portable batteries onto the UK market.
If you are under the one tonne threshold, you are still able to join ERP.
Contact us to discuss your options. E-mail: uk@erp-recycling.org
We take on your legal obligations, managing your registration and reporting, and securing battery evidence equal to your battery recycling obligation.
Provide registration and reporting for Industrial and Automotive battery producers, as well as optional services for the take-back of Industrial and Automotive batteries.
Offer free battery boxes and collections for your premises, and provide small producers with a fixed compliance cost for the entire year.
For businesses that put between one and five tonnes of batteries on the UK market each year, we offer an all-inclusive fee which includes our membership fee, the Environment Agency producer registration fee and all recycling costs.
For businesses that place five or more tonnes of portable batteries on the UK market annually, you pay a compliance fee per tonne of obligation only. We only charge you for what we do on your behalf.
We collect batteries from approximately 20,000 collection points in the UK: from shops, offices, schools and other public buildings. We use this extensive network to collect the batteries that we need to meet our members’ obligations.
