Batribox authorized representative
for non-EU sellers in France.
Batribox is an approved French eco-organism for portable batteries and accumulators, operating the take-back brand historically run by Screlec. Its current agrément follows the arrêté of 27 March 2025.
Batribox runs a collection network of drop-off boxes in shops, workplaces and public sites for used portable batteries, then channels them to sorting and recycling by chemistry. Producers adhere, declare the batteries they place on the French market (standalone or embedded in equipment), and pay an eco-contribution per chemistry.
Any company placing portable batteries on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU, and whether the batteries are sold on their own (a pack of AAs) or embedded in a product (a wireless mouse, a vape, a power tool). The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
- A US electronics brand shipping devices with embedded lithium-ion cells
- A Chinese manufacturer of standalone alkaline batteries sold on Amazon FR
- A UK gadget brand with cordless accessories entering the French market
