Worry-free disposal of batteries and accumulators

As a distributor of batteries, you’re obliged to take back used batteries in order to dispose of them safely. This enables hazardous and recyclable substances to be collected.

The approved takeback scheme at Landbell DS Ensorgung incorporates you as a distributor and manages your obligations.

Our solutions relieve your company:

  • We ensure the collection and safe disposal of any waste batteries using the latest recycling technology.
  • We offer you a complete package in compliance with the Battery Act (BattG) and Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).
  • We meet the administrative requirements of the authorities for manufacturers – such as registration and reporting obligations.
  • We set up collection boxes or other battery containers and handle the transport – also for batteries as dangerous goods.

Important: the Battery Act (BattG) distinguishes between types of batteries

The Battery Act (BattG) distinguishes between:

Portable batteries: batteries and accumulators that are enclosed and can be held in your hand.

Industrial batteries: any battery intended for industrial, commercial, or agricultural use. An industrial battery can also be used in e-bikes or to drive hybrid vehicles.

Car batteries: any battery for the auto starter motor, lighting, or ignition.

Manufacturers must register a battery with its brand and battery type with the authorities (Stiftung EAR) before placing it on the market.
