Recycling batteries
Together with the whole recycling chain, we are working towards the circular economy.
We are already realising the recovery of 63,6 per cent of car batteries, by weight.
What happens to disposed-of batteries?
As the number of electric cars on our roads increases, more and more of their batteries are having to be disposed of. Some of the EV-batteries and starter batteries are given a second lease of life; others are sent to recycling companies.
Starter battery and EV-battery results.
Our realised recycling performance is well above the legally mandated recycling percentages, by weight, for EV-batteries. Nearly all car importers in the Netherlands participate in the ARN Management Plan, a collective harvesting and processing scheme for batteries.
Legislation and regulations
Environmental legislation and regulations pertaining to batteries are strict. What should you pay particular attention to, for example? What about storage and transport? And which regulations must you be familiar with? All essential information neatly arranged.
Management fee
Car importers that participate in the ARN Management Plan pay a management fee for the collection and processing of batteries. For an overview of the relevant rates, click here.
Participating importers
By participating in the ARN Management Plan, car importers can essentially outsource the collection and processing of disposed-of batteries.
