B‑cycle is a simple way to walk your sustainability talk
Buying and selling B‑cycleable batteries means you can protect the planet while attracting eco-conscious customers. The great news for retailers is that almost all surveyed Australians are happy to pay more for batteries that are recycled*.
B‑cycle is Government-backed and authorised by the ACCC.
