Under the new battery regulation getting into force on 18th August of 2025 the two major take back schemes Corepile (merging with Ecosystems) and Screlec (merging with Ecologic) announced the necessity of an authorized representative for batteries in the future.
Details are yet to be negotiated between the take back schemes and the French authorities – such as Ademe. But the major players already pointed out that a separate AR provider will be needed in the future for battery producers and traders that want to/have to register with a battery collection scheme.
We will keep our clients and all Newsletter subscriber updated on the outcome of those discussions – but we are already prepared to offer a reliable AR service via our French partners as soon as it gets into force.
