Change is coming. Get ahead with B‑cycle.
The Recycling and Waste Reduction Act 2020, requires manufacturers, importers and distributors to take greater responsibility for used batteries. Consumer pressure is driving a sustainability transformation and early industry participation keeps the potential of upcoming regulation at bay.
The good news is that most Australians are happy to pay more for batteries that are recycled.* Get B‑cycle accredited to secure competitive advantage and collaborate with accredited wholesalers and retailers.
B‑cycle is Government-backed and authorised by the ACCC.
