You have to be a collection point for used batteries.

As a battery seller, you also have to take back used batteries.
As a collection point, you accept batteries from everyone, without any obligation to purchase. Are you already a collection point? Perfect! If not, find out here how to become one..

How do you become a collection point?

The easiest way to become a battery collection point – free of charge! – is to register as a Bebat collection point. Bebat then provides free collection materials, arranges a free pick-up service and afterwards takes care of proper recycling and reporting to the authorities.

You have to fulfil the take-back obligation

What is the legal take-back obligation?

1. You collect used batteries correctly and have them disposed of in accordance with the legal requirements. You also meet the legal targets for the collection rate and recycling efficiency.
2. You take battery prevention action, you raise awareness of the correct use of batteries and you ensure detailed reporting to the regional authorities.
3. You comply with the obligation to register with the regional authorities.
4. All batteries fall under this take-back obligation, both house, garden and kitchen appliance batteries and batteries for professional use, whether loose, built-in or supplied with a product.

The easiest way to be compliant?

• we make sure that you fulfil all obligations;

• we provide you with the appropriate materials – free of charge.

First tell us a little more

Thank you for the interest you have shown, but we do not yet know enough to be able to give you the right advice.

Your Belgian customers must comply with the acceptance obligation.

In practical terms, this means that they are legally obliged to:

1. Collect used batteries correctly and have them disposed of in accordance with the legal requirements;

2. Meet the legal targets for the collection rate and recycling efficiency rate;

3. Take preventative measures and raise awareness about the correct use of batteries;

4. File declarations on this with the regional authorities;

5. Comply with the registration obligation with the regional authorities.

You might be fulfilling all of your obligations, but your Belgian customers must also meet their own legal obligation to take back used batteries. So please send this test on to your Belgian customers so that they, too, can rest assured.
