Overview
ReBattery generates compliance records and evidence reports from deal activity. These documents help suppliers, buyers, and recyclers demonstrate that batteries were handled lawfully and traceably. Compliance data is produced from events recorded during the deal lifecycle, not from manual form entries.
Compliance Events During the Deal Lifecycle
When a recycling deal progresses, the platform creates a compliance event for that deal. The event lifecycle is:
- Working — created when the deal begins
- Enriched — receives recycler facility and permit snapshots when the recycler signs with a processing facility
- Confirmed — becomes confirmed once the recycler uploads a valid Waste Transfer Note (WTN) or recycling certificate
If a recycler needs to correct compliance data after uploading, a new working event is created with the corrected values and the prior event is marked as superseded. Historical rows are never mutated, so you retain a full audit trail.
[!WARNING] ReBattery assists with record generation and evidence collection, but you remain responsible for meeting your regulatory filing obligations. The platform does not submit reports directly to regulators on your behalf.
Evidence Reports
The Evidence Report surface generates a client-facing recycling evidence export. It is scoped to waste-side completion evidence and provenance — the documentation needed for client evidence packs.
The export includes:
- Deal reference and completion date
- Recycler and facility identity, plus destination country
- Battery category, chemistry, and confirmed mass
- Evidence document linkage (WTN or certificate references)
- Confidence and caveat notes when data is incomplete
Placed-on-market totals are excluded from this export. If you need producer-return evidence for placed-on-market reporting, contact the support team.
Annual Reporting (Suppliers and Recyclers)
Eligible accounts can generate periodised compliance snapshots from the Reports page. The report aggregates confirmed compliance events across a selected date range — typically a calendar year — and groups them by chemistry, battery category, and destination.
The report surface supports:
- Date range selection (with jurisdiction-aware presets planned)
- Country filtering for destination/treatment routing
- Resale and Recycling tab views
- Facility-focused breakdown tables
[!WARNING] ReBattery does not model regulator submission state (filed, filed late, or overdue) in the platform. Generated reports are export snapshots, not proof of filing. Always verify your submission deadlines against your local regulator's requirements.
Recycling Confirmation Documents
Recycling deals close with a recycling confirmation document. This serves as the end-of-life record for the battery and is included in compliance evidence. Both parties sign the confirmation, and the recycler uploads supporting WTN or certificate references.
These documents are retained for the minimum legal and contractual retention windows and can be referenced from the Reports page or the deal archive.
Accessing Reports
If your account is eligible for compliance reporting:
- Go to Reports from your dashboard
- Select a date range or use the available presets
- Browse the Resale and Recycling tabs for deal-level rows
- Switch to the Evidence Report tab to generate a downloadable PDF export
Generated report PDFs remain available in the Reports area unless replaced by a newer final version.
What Is Included in Compliance Reports
Report-ready rows are drawn from confirmed compliance events and include:
- Event dates (collection and completion)
- Event type and mass (kg / tonnes)
- Battery category and chemistry
- Approved treatment or export operator and destination country
- Deal reference and source confidence level
Rows with missing facility links or estimated data are included with caveats so you can review them before relying on the totals.
