Am I obligated?
You are an ‘obligated’ battery producer if you:
- Have a UK presence and either:
- Import batteries (including those within products) into the UK and then selling them wholesale in the UK, and/or:
- UK manufacture of batteries selling to the public or to retailers
What do I need to do?
You must:
- Register as a battery Producer
- Report data on how many batteries you placed on the market
- Meet your portable battery recycling obligation (if applicable)
- Finance the collection, treatment, and recycling of waste portable batteries (if applicable)
- Take-back waste industrial and automotive batteries (if applicable)
ERP can manage all of this for you and ensure that your obligations are met.

Support for takeback of your products
Take-back
ERP’s experienced operations team and UK-wide network of licensed waste carriers and treatment operators, can arrange for the collection and treatment of WEEE from your sites or your customers.
We can provide bespoke take-back solutions and other waste services, and our product take-back offer also includes specialist services, such as secure destruction, if required.
How does it all work?
Households can take WEEE to a local authority recycling centre for free. We arrange for the collection and reuse/recycling of this with funding from our members and utilising our UK-wide network of licensed waste carriers and treatment operators. We serve over 400 recycling centres in the UK, and our procurement manager regularly checks the market to ensure we’re paying the best prices for waste treatment and logistics services. In turn, we can provide the best prices to members.
