Battery Compliance in France

Collection and Recycling Arrangements in France

The Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC was transposed through Decree 1139 of 22 September 2009. Producers of portable batteries must finance take-back of portable batteries collected by retailers, municipalities and economic operators in proportion to their market share through an approved system or an approved individual system.

SCIEX has joined batteries compliance scheme COREPILE to manage all aspects of batteries collection and recycling in France. Please contact COREPILE (0 820 802 820, corepile@corepile.fr, www.corepile.fr/contact/) for further information.
