Please note that you cannot treat or export automotive or industrial batteries without approval being granted. You must follow extra rules if you manage waste batteries, including collection, treatment, recycling and export. These are in addition to your duty of care and hazardous waste regulation requirements.
The rules are different for waste portable, industrial and automotive batteries. You must be an Approved Battery Treatment Operator (ABTO) if you: You must be an Approved Battery Exporter (ABE) if you: Evidence notes are proof of treatment, recycling or export of portable waste batteries by an ABTO or ABE.
ABEs must follow the Waste Shipment Regulations. Use the waste export control tool to find the regulatory controls for your battery waste's destination country. Follow the waste export and import guidance to move waste batteries or waste battery materials like lead plates in or out of the UK for treatment and recycling.
EU rules on batteries aim to make batteries sustainable throughout their entire life cycle – from the sourcing of materials to their collection, recycling and repurposing.
The EU could account for 17% of that demand. The European Parliament and the Council adopted the new Batteries Regulation on 12 July 2023. This will minimise the environmental impact of this exponential growth in light of new socioeconomic conditions, technological developments, markets, and battery usages.
While many batteries used for these purposes are of special design, the exclusion is for the use of the battery rather than any special design. If you receive unmarked waste batteries from the Ministry of Defence, assess and treat them as you would all other batteries. Marked waste batteries from the Ministry of Defence are outside the regulations.
