Battery Recycling Case Study
Our new budget battery tube – the BATT250 has proved to be very popular as Grundon, one of the UK’s leading waste management companies decided to introduce a brand new battery recycling scheme to a major broadcasting company, which is comprised of 50 x BATT250 containers placed strategically around the workplace.
Ware 4 were recently approached by Grundon’s Contract Manager, Louise Beaty, to help provide suitable battery recycling facilities for their large broadcasting client.
The Challenge
With the battery recycling regulations coming into force on 1st February 2010, the client had strict criteria to adhere to and required a sturdy but budget conscious battery recycling unit which would be easy for staff to recognise, use and to empty.
Ware 4 offer a selection of battery collection bins which were offered to Grundon for both environmental and budgetary reasons.
The Solution
Grundon purchased 50 of the Batt250 desktop battery collectors for the collection of spent batteries at their client’s offices.
They selected the Batt250 from Ware4’s extensive range in order to collect used batteries throughout the offices and in turn complement the provision of their own battery disposal service.
The Batt250 is designed to look neat in all environments, work where space is at a premium, and is easy to clean and service.
The battery recycling system has now been implemented successfully throughout the client’s offices.
“…the client is aware of the regulations covering the collection, recycling and processing of portable batteries, as well as other waste streams, and the Batt250 helps them continue to meet their obligations as a responsible company…”
