Battery Recycling Overview

Batteries are soon to be banned from landfill sites and there disposal is to be regulated by the imminent implementation of the EU Battery Directive. The battery
directive and new regulations covering the disposal of used batteries are due to come into force from September 2008.The regulations will affect everyone from manufacturers to end users. All users in the life-cycle chain will have a responsibility to ensure the safe handling and disposal of batteries at the end of their useful life.

The reasons for this new legislation are due to the fact that when batteries end up at landfill, the resulting effect of the chemicals contained in them have a very negative impact on the environment. Chemical from the batteries leach into the water table and can pollute the surrounding area for many years to come.

WEEE Recycling Overview

In January 2003 the EU published the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive.

The aim of the new legislation is to reduce the amount of electrical waste going to landfill, and to encourage recycling and reuse. In December 2006 UK WEEE Legislation was approved by Parliament and it came into full force in July 2007.
