Anyone who sells battery-powered products in Belgium is familiar with the issue: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) makes companies jointly responsible for the end-of-life management of their batteries and rechargeable batteries. Under the EU Battery Regulation, strict registration, take-back, and labeling requirements apply to all types of batteries – whether sold separately or built into devices.
What does this mean specifically for your company?
- Step 1: Appoint an authorized representative (for foreign companies without a Belgian registered office)
- Step 2: Registration and membership with Bebat (the only officially authorized take-back organization in Belgium)
- Step 3: Registration in the Belgian Battery Register (occurs automatically via Bebat with the three regional governments upon active membership)
- Step 4: Classification and regular data reporting (reporting of quantities placed on the market and battery categories via the MyBebat portal)
- Step 5: Calculate and pay Bebat fees (The fees payable to Bebat consist of an environmental fee and an administrative fee)
- Step 6: Extended reporting obligations: CO₂ footprint & due diligence
- Step 7: Comply with labeling requirements
