Registration, collection and recycling obligations for batteries producers

Producers of portable and industrial batteries

Compliance can be through:

  1. Individual arrangements
  2. Membership to collective scheme
  3. Payment of Product Fee levied on batteries*

*Batteries are subject to a product tax which serves as a de facto third compliance option. Producers who join a collective or individual system do not have to pay the tax. The tax increases from EUR 4,000 per tonne of portable batteries put on the market in 2008 to EUR 6,000 in 2012.
