New regulations on battery recyling

The new regulations came into force in the light of figures, such as those on the ‘recycle more’ website (www.reclcyle-more.co.uk), that only three per cent of batteries are currently recycled - leaving 22,000 tonnes of household batteries to go into landfill sites where they can leak harmful chemicals into the soil. Further details of the new regulations can be found at http://www.batteryback.org/

In particular, the new regulations state that any organisations supplying a total of more than 32 kilos of batteries per year must have a scheme to take back old, used batteries for free. This includes having collecting bins for old batteries on-site and it involves a commitment on the part of the supplier to recycle these returned batteries.
