EPR

Turning battery responsibility into action.

Supporting businesses in managing their responsibilities across the battery lifecycle.

What EPR means for battery businesses

Extended Producer Responsibility extends a producer's responsibility beyond making and selling a product, to what happens once it has been used.

For batteries, the Battery Waste Management Rules (BWMR 2022) mandate that manufacturers collect and recycle a significant portion of their batteries after end-of-life. It is a responsibility that runs the length of the battery lifecycle.

From responsibility to recovery

The EPR pathway.

A conceptual pathway, showing how a responsibility connects to recovery. Each business's route is scoped with them.

  1. 01

    Identify

    What batteries fall under your responsibility.

  2. 02

    Register

    Establishing the responsibility formally.

  3. 03

    Collect

    Bringing end-of-life batteries back.

  4. 04

    Route

    Moving them to where they can be recovered.

  5. 05

    Recover

    Recycling and material recovery.

  6. 06

    Document

    Records of what was collected and recovered.

  7. 07

    Report

    Showing the responsibility was met.

EPR is more than paperwork

Responsibility becomes meaningful when it connects to what physically happens to the battery.

Producer
What physically happens
  1. Battery
  2. Collection
  3. Movement
  4. Recovery
  5. Materials
Documentation and reporting
Traceability and visibility

A record you can stand behind.

Lifecycle records, the movement of material and information about its recovery are what give a responsibility substance. The more clearly a battery's journey can be followed, the more clearly the responsibility can be shown.

As stated in ReBAT’s brochure

  • EPR Certified

    Authorised support for producer EPR obligations with transparent documentation.

  • CPCB Registered R4 Recycler

    Authorised to recycle end-of-life batteries in India.

EPR + reverse logistics

Responsibility needs a route.

Collecting batteries and moving them to recovery is where an obligation turns into movement. Reverse logistics is that route.

EPR + recovery

Responsibility ends in recovery.

What is collected is recycled, and its materials recovered and returned to the supply chain: the physical outcome behind the record.
