Car Battery Recycling
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Please note that disposal of waste industrial and automotive batteries by landfill or by incineration is banned in the UK. If you have an electric vehicle, there are specific obligations for producers/importers of such vehicles that are intended to help you deal with the batteries that power these vehicles when they become waste. Businesses that place electric vehicle batteries onto the UK market have an obligation to arrange for the treatment and recycling of these batteries.
All battery producers in the UK are required to be registered with the Government.
Nissan Motor (GB) is classified as a battery producer in the UK.
Our battery producer registration number is BPRN00300.
