Our battery compliance scheme simplifies environmental compliance for companies making or importing batteries.
Our solution looks after all your legal obligations from registration and reporting to the collection and recycling of waste batteries. For small producers, we offer a simple ‘all in’ fixed cost.
Why is Batteries compliance important for your business?
If you make, import, or sell batteries in the UK then you have a legal obligation to comply with various environmental regulations.
