After the collection, batteries are temporarily stored in special containers which are transported to a central storage point that meets the requirements provided by the Law and has all the relevant authorizations. After a load of 20 tonnes is collected, it is exported for treatment to authorized factories abroad.
The materials are then dispatched to specialized factories abroad (Europe) where they are sorted and properly treated in accordance to the European Community Legislation. Each factory is obliged to submit all the required reports to the System and achieve the recycling targets for each battery type according to the Law.
