Extended Producer Responsibility

The ARBR actively drives the implementation of the EPR program for the battery sector

Extended Producer Responsibility

Battery producers must take the opportunity to participate in a national strategy for used battery collection and recycling. It is crucial to a battery program’s success that everyone in the value chain plays a role and shares responsibility, which is the purpose of Extended Producer Responsibility.

Retailers, recyclers and end-users all have a shared responsibility to minimize the negative impact that batteries can have on our environment.

Extended Producer Responsibility

All companies that sell new or used batteries in Nigerian must contribute to the cost of mitigating the hazards of collection and recycling activities.

Those who make and sell products that contain or utilize batteries should make informed decisions based on the effects of their battery choices and implement battery take-back schemes.

ARBR believes that battery manufacturers regardless of whether their facilities are domestic or foreign should support the costs of recycling.
