Take-back obligation batteries > 20 kg: take responsibility now, just like Covico
The West Flemish company Covico is active in many markets. From project development to renovation projects and specialised building techniques to the rental of boilers. Two years ago, a new service was added to the list: the installation of solar panels and home batteries.
We mainly focus on home batteries. If the customer already has a solar installation, we provide the home battery. If the customer has neither, we install both the solar panels and the home battery.
Long lifespan vs. legal responsibilities
s a manufacturer, importer and - in this case - installer of home batteries, you bear a great responsibility. You are subject to the take-back obligation, whereby you must register, recycle, inform and raise awareness. But you needn’t do these tasks completely on your own. Bebat is ready to support you in many ways!
Thibault Covemaeker: “We knew that, in the long term, we are responsible for processing batteries when their time is up. In the case of home batteries, their lifespan can easily reach 15 years. That’s precisely why we didn’t have an end-of-life plan yet. Bebat then presented us with a framework contract, which states that we’ll be able to make use of the relevant services as soon as we need them.”
