Key figures

- more than 5 300 tonnes of batteries and accumulators have been collected in 2021
- more than 90% of the batteries and accumulators collected by Screlec are recycled in France
Screlec helps you with French regulations
The European battery directive has been transposed into national law in the EU member states. This national regulation allows producers and distributors to fulfil their obligations by joining a collective scheme embodied by Screlec.
The producer and distributor’s obligations can be:
- The collection and the treatment of a certain national quota of batteries related to the average volumes put on market
- The proper treatment of the collected batteries and the achievement of certain national recycling targets for treated batteries
- Financing the collection and recycling of its own batteries
- The registration in national registers for batteries
Screlec’s membership both allows you to fulfil your obligations and access to a customized service :
- Compliance with the legislation in the framework of an economic solution mastered by the third-parties.
- Helping you with your declaration. This declaration has to be done once a year.
- Supporting your company through communication’s actions
- Registration and declaration with the French Environment and Energy Management Agency
