Return of Used Batteries
Efficient Returns: Fast, Hassle-Free, and Fully Compliant
An effective circular economy starts with streamlined logistics. PV CYCLE has optimized its take-back processes to minimize the burden on owners of end-of-life modules and industrial batteries (e.g., storage batteries) while maximizing legal certainty.
Our promise: Simplicity through standardization
We offer all eligible collection points—from municipal recycling centers and small businesses to commercial end-users—a nationwide, uniform, and non-discriminatory return system.
5 steps to successful disposal:
- Easy request submission: You can easily submit your pickup request via email, through our hotline, or directly through our online request portal.
- Container Provision: If necessary, we will provide you with suitable, legally compliant containers for collection and transport—such as UN-approved hazardous materials containers for lithium batteries or sturdy industrial mesh boxes.
- Fast response times: Once you contact us, we’ll coordinate the logistics. Pickup usually takes place within 10 business days at the latest.
- Safe Specialized Transport: Transport is carried out exclusively by specialized companies that are ADR-trained and certified.
- Legally compliant documentation: Every collection is precisely recorded, including weight, cell chemistry, and origin. You will receive a legally compliant collection confirmation that meets all requirements of the ear Foundation and the EU Battery Regulation.
Your benefits with PV CYCLE:
• No minimum quantities: We’ll pick up even the smallest quantities to help you avoid hazardous temporary storage at your facilities.
• Special service for critical cases: We prioritize damaged or critical batteries and pick them up using special safety precautions.
• Highest recycling rates: Through direct access to a network of certified primary processing facilities, we guarantee high-quality material recycling and the recovery of strategic raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and silicon.
