Due to low volumes, short reaction times and specific regulations in terms of transport, battery returns can get costly if not properly managed.
The automotive industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. Core management contributes to In a lot of cases, batteries are still valuable when being sorted out in production or returned from customers. A proper assessment of reuse opportunities ensures that batteries are being used as long as possible before being recycled.
When recycling batteries, achieving high recovery rates and generating valuable battery-grade materials are essential to closing raw material loops.
A lot of customers or dealers have limited knowledge about battery-specific requirements for transport and storage. By providing product-specific information and offering quick and comprehensive return solutions, customers receive the support they need and can focus on their core business.
For batteries, a variety of legal requirements originating from the EU Battery Regulation, dangerous goods transport rules or national waste laws must be considered when designing and operating reverse supply chains.
