Australia’s first accredited battery recycling scheme is now underway.
Developed by the Battery Stewardship Council, B-Cycle is about creating a
responsible battery life cycle and has the backing of the Federal government
with any investment of $1 million.
B-Cycle is an accredited product stewardship scheme. This mean that both
consumers and industry can be assured that it meets strict environmental and
human health standards.
Batteries contain valuable components like zinc, lithium, cobalt, graphite, and
manganese which can be recycled and remade into valuable new products like
paint, car tyres, metal tools, computer parts, new batteries, and more.
B-Cycle accepts household batteries including button batteries, AAs and AAAs,
power tool batteries, camera batteries, and e-bike batteries. Participating drop
off points include Woolworths, Aldi, Bunnings, Office Works, Total Tools,
TradeTools Caboolture and soon Coles.
