  1. RNDr. Petr KRATOCHVÍLSeptember 25, 2013 Anapplicationofproducersresponsibility on collection and recycling of portable batteries in the Czech Republic V4 Environmental Export Platform, Budapest

  2. Why to focus on thebatteries ? • hazardouswaste (Hg, Cd, Pb) • secondary metal-bearingrawmaterial (Ni, Co, Zn, Mn) • 3 categories • automotive (Pb acid) 30.000 t/year • industrial (BtBsector, Pb, NiCd, LiIon) 1.000 t/year • portable (BtCsector, highpenetration in consumer market) 3.000 t/year

  3. Legislation • BatteryDirective 2006/66/EC • banofhazardoussubstances • developmentofcollectionschemes • stricttargetsforcollection and recycling • obligatory public awarenesscampaigns • Theburdenis not on theproducersofbatterywaste but on thecompaniesputtingbatteries on theirnationalmarkets (so calledproducers) • Implementation on thenationallevel by 2009 (CZ : Waste Management Act)

  4. WhoisECOBAT ? • FoundersofECOBAT • Bateria Slaný • Emos (GP) • Energizer • Panasonic • Procter & Gamble(Duracell) • VARTA

  5. Current number of clients of ECOBAT Totalnumber: 692clients 208 139 132 213

  6. ECOBAT reached EU collectionlimit 2010 2012 2016 45% 15,6 % 25 % CR REACHED EU LIMIT FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW ! Directive 2006/66/EC setsthe minimum collection efficiency for EU Member States ECOBAT:in 2012significantly increased the amount of collected portable batteries: Putto market in CR (avg. in last 3 years): 3 182tonnes Take-back: 919 tonnes Efficiencyachieved: 29 % !

  7. Current status ofcollectionof portable batteries in CR No. of collection points (ths.)

  8. Ecobat collection 2012 - waste streams

  9. Batteries put on the market in the Czech Republic Total - in tonnes Typesofbatteries – ratio (in %) t. 2012 cf. 2009: +29% Partiallydue to revivalofbattery market in 2012, but stagnationof EEE  Importanceofcooperationwith WEEE schemes! - ZnC: 35%  29% + ALK: 33%  39%

  10. Current status of battery recycling in 2012werecycled 878 tonnesof portable batteries, outofthisweextracted556mostly metal rawmaterials (Pb, Zn, Mn, Ni, Co) Efficiencyof recycling process Handlingwithcollectedbatteries

  11. Recycling partners in 2012

  12. Awareness raising

  13. Conclusions • Collection and recycling of portable batteriesis a non-profit activity. • Complianceorganizationscontrolled by producers are thebestsolution. • Complianceorganizations také overresponsibilityfor • financing • organizing • public awarenesscampaigns • Complianceorganizationsshouldbecontrolled by thegovernment and legislation to avoidmisuse by commercialsector.
