Compliance and Sustainability

Learn about the regulations, how to stay compliant, and best practices for ensuring the environmentally responsible disposal,
recycling, and management of batteries.
The Regulations
Businesses that manufacture, import, or handle batteries must comply with regulations designed to reduce environmental impact. If your business placed more than one tonne of batteries on the market last year, you’re classed as an obligated battery producer. This means registering with an approved compliance scheme, accurately reporting the volume of batteries placed on the market, and funding the collection and recycling of waste batteries to meet national recovery and recycling targets.
Battery regulations require manufacturers, importers, and distributors to comply with laws aimed at minimizing environmental harm. Businesses must register with an appropriate compliance scheme, track and report the volume of batteries placed on the market, and meet specific recycling and recovery targets. This involves ensuring that used batteries are collected, treated, and recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
Beyond compliance, battery management should prioritise sustainability by reducing hazardous materials, improving recyclability, and supporting the recovery of valuable metals. Sustainable battery design not only minimises environmental impact but also supports the circular economy, keeping businesses compliant and competitive.
Additionally, companies must properly label batteries, provide information about safe disposal to consumers, and finance the costs associated with collection and recycling efforts to reduce landfill waste and promote sustainability.
What is a Battery?
Batteries are sources of electrical energy generated through chemical reactions. They can be either:
Primary batteries: Single-use, non-rechargeable.
Secondary batteries: Rechargeable and reusable.
Batteries are further classified as industrial, automotive, or portable, and each type has different compliance obligations for producers.
