Currently less than 3% of these batteries are being recycled.

Credential AWS and G&P Batteries are offering the ‘BattBox’ to all Credential AWS customers. ‘BattBox’ is a simple and cost-effective service for environmentally responsible companies to recycle waste portable batteries.

The ‘BattBox’ is a pre-paid collection scheme for waste portable batteries that arise in the workplace. Waste batteries are hazardous and they need to be handled carefully to comply with current legislation. For a one-off fee you will receive a container designed to sit neatly on a desk or shelf in a location that is easily accessible.

Once full, simply call our collection service and arrange for the ‘BattBox’ to be removed and/or replaced. Its contents will consequently be sorted and recycled. It’s quick, it’s efficient and it’s cost effective.
