Change is coming. Get ahead with B‑cycle.
Australia is moving toward stronger, more consistent approaches to battery stewardship. Industry participation is critical to improving safety, supporting recycling and preparing for what’s next.
B-cycle helps organisations take responsibility today, building capability, credibility and alignment with emerging expectations.
B‑cycle is authorised by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and accredited by the Federal Government as a voluntary product stewardship scheme.
