Commercial battery recycling

Recycle commercial batteries through the right route

Tell ReBattery what your organisation is holding. We assess the battery facts, check credible recycling and reuse routes, and help you prepare the next step.

For organisations with EV, lithium, industrial or bulk battery stock. Not a household battery drop-off service.

What we need from you

Enough detail to make the next step credible

  • Battery type and chemistry
  • Format and approximate quantity
  • Condition and damage indicators
  • Collection location
  • Photos and available documents

A ReBattery commercial route assessment uses the battery chemistry, format, approximate quantity, condition and damage indicators, location, and available documentation.

What happens after you submit

One assessment. Three honest outcomes.

A commercial battery route assessment considers condition, damage indicators and available evidence before deciding whether reuse, recycling or specialist assessment should be explored.

Recycle

01

A credible recycling route

The holding appears suitable for review by recyclers that cover its chemistry, format and location.

Reuse

02

A resale or second-life check

The available condition evidence suggests specific buyer demand is worth checking before recycling.

Clarify

03

More evidence is needed

Missing identity, condition or logistics information needs resolving before a credible route can be stated.

A commercial route assessment can consider reuse, producer take-back, specialist recycling or safety-led handling in light of the battery facts, location and applicable requirements.

Before batteries move

Safety and paperwork depend on the actual load

Dangerous goods transport rules can require suitable classification, packaging and labelling before batteries move.

Requirements vary with battery type, condition, quantity, packaging and transport mode; obtain specialist advice for the actual movement.

Businesses handling controlled waste in England and Wales must keep it safe, describe it accurately, and transfer it only to an authorised person or establishment.

General guidance only; the correct route depends on the waste, location, holder and receiving facility.

Start with the battery facts

Prepare one clear recycling request

Submitting a ReBattery commercial quote request records the holding for review; it does not guarantee a recycler, price or turnaround.
