Safeguarding the environment, the economy, & everyone who depends on them
As a stewardship initiative, B-cycle accreditation gives confidence that used batteries are safely managed, recycled and remade into something new.
The Scheme is backed by the Battery Stewardship Council, supported by the Commonwealth and all State and Territory Governments, and authorised by the ACCC.
B‑cycle expands existing markets and facilitates new ones
Change is here, with batteries now covered by the Recycling and Waste Reduction Act 2020, which requires businesses take greater responsibility.
Demand for battery metals is also set to jump 500% by 2050, exceeding supply of some virgin materials.
B‑cycle builds on this economic opportunity by connecting industry leaders, and expanding material volumes through the Drop off network.
Get ahead of the change. Get accredited today.
How it works
Importers pay a levy which funds the Scheme
Retailers sell accredited battery brands
Used batteries are deposited at B-cycle Drop off points
Accredited participants earn rebates by collecting, sorting & recycling
Recovered materials make new batteries and other products
Earth’s finite resources are conserved
