About Batteriretur®

Batteriretur er godkjent returselskap for alle kategorier batterier. Vi har tre selskaper som er organisert under merkenavnet Batteriretur®.

Batteriretur® is structured to meet the requirements for discarded batteries acc.to waste regulations, and since its founding in late autumn 1993 the mission has been fulfilled, year after year after year. In 2006, the EU extended the "Battery Directive" to include all categories.

For oss har det vært et logisk veivalg å gjøre bruk av det samme finmaskede nett av mottaks- og hentesteder til innsamling av alle kategorier batterier. Og vi ser historien gjenta seg; slik mengden blybatterier  30 år tilbake raskt vokste fra årlig 9.000 tonn til 14-17.000 tonn har mengden portable batterier vokst fra vel 100 tonn til nær 1000 tonn ved hjelp av samme nettverk. Vårt nettverk sikrer synergigevinst for både sikkerhet og miljøet!

The way forward

Our job is not done, however, even if the collection requirements in regulations are met. Norway is electrified and in 2014 we established Batteriretur Høyenergi AS to handle the batteries from electric vehicles and the marine sector. We will continue to facilitate the collection of high-energy batteries in collaboration with partners, and that should go without saying when we are so lucky to have this many who want to contribute to successful collection. Several people have raised questions about how much we are able to receive! The answer is that we accept everything we receive, and promising collaborative projects over the years has put us in an international leading position. Enthusiasm and a unique nationwide network of reception and pick-up locations are yielding results. We humbly thank all of our partners and look forward to us walking the path of collection where safety and environment remains in focus. The future is electric!
