Battery Compliance in Spain

Collection and Recycling Arrangements in Spain

The Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC was transposed through Royal Decree 106/2008 published on 12 February 2008. The Autonomous Communities retain the authority to regulate compliance of producers. Companies placing portable batteries on the Spainsh market are required to register as a portable batteries producer and provide the take-back and recycling of waste portable batteries.

SCIEX has joined batteries compliance scheme Ecopilas to manage all aspects of batteries collection and recycling in Spain. Please contact Ecopilas (91 4170890, ecopilas@ecopilas.es, ecopilas.es/en/contact/) for further information.
