Bebat

Bebat manages the collection, sorting and recycling of waste batteries in Belgium.
Founded in 1995 by the battery industry, Bebat has become one of the leading battery
collection schemes in Europe with best in class collection and recycling results.
Our battery collection system is one of the most convenient in the world: we have one
collection point for every 500 inhabitants and in average a Belgian is always within 400
m of a collection point.
In 2015, Bebat collected a record weight of almost 2.800 tonnes of batteries, representing
more than 7.000.000 movements by consumers to bring us their used batteries.
Bebat is proud to surpass Belgian and European collection targets (55,5% for 2015) and
to boast a collection efficiency of 90%* of all batteries that are available for collection.
