Battery Disposal & WEEE

Battery Disposal Information

Oliver Kalz e.K. is the importer of the SCU battery storage systems and therefore a producer within the meaning of Art. 3(47) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 with extended producer responsibility.

Under the German Battery Law Implementation Act (Batterierecht-Durchführungsgesetz, BattDG) and the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, we inform our customers of the following:

Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally required to return used batteries and accumulators. Spent batteries may contain harmful substances that can damage the environment or your health if stored or disposed of improperly.

However, batteries also contain valuable raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel, and are therefore recycled.
