About Bebat

For over 30 years, Bebat has been giving used batteries a new life. We work for a better environment by collecting ever more used batteries, reusing them wherever possible and recycling them ever better. Bebat collects all used batteries - from the smallest button cell to the largest EV or industrial battery. We make collection and recycling as simple, safe and efficient as possible. Through clear communication, we encourage not only the regular bringing in of all used batteries, but also the safe, correct and sustainable use of batteries. Founded in 1995 as a non-profit organisation (NPO), Bebat was one of the pioneers in environmental compliance in Europe. We were established by major battery manufacturers to enable companies to meet their extended producer responsibility (EPR) for discarded batteries. Bebat facilitates producers and importers to meet their legal obligations by, among other things: • collecting used batteries through an extensive network of collection points; • ensuring that they are carefully sorted and recycled, reused or repurposed; • raising awareness through national campaigns. Over the years Bebat has grown into an environmental organisation with world-class collection results, not the least thanks to our more than 23,000 collection points and 4,500 affiliated participants. With over 4,000 tonnes of batteries collected each year, Belgium is one of the world's top performers in battery collection and recycling. As a pioneer in sustainability, we at Bebat continue to innovate with the help of our partners and other sector organisations. The world is evolving rapidly, with more new devices and technologies hitting the market — and with them, more batteries. To ensure the collection and recycling of all these batteries stays as efficient, sustainable and safe as possible, we continuously focus on optimisation and progress so that together, we can make an even greater impact. Because recycling together is better for all of us.
