What infrastructure does BatteryBack have in place for the collection of waste batteries?
A – In terms of dealing with waste batteries, the combined collection, infrastructure and treatment network from both WasteCare and Veolia gives BatteryBack a huge head start over the other schemes. In essence BatteryBack will control all aspects of the disposal journey, from collections, to sorting, treatment and eventual 98% recovery. As the service is basically ‘in-house’ this gives BatteryBack greater control over potential treatment costs, these savings are reflected in our published compliance prices meaning low-cost compliance for all potential members. BatteryBack is continually seeking to complement the existing arrangements with other waste collection providers to help keep down the costs to the members.
