The new agreement provides Envirostream with access to over 100 Battery World stores across Australia, and boosts total available consumer drop-off points to Envirostream above 800, providing potential for increased recycling volumes.
Envirostream’s national collection network now includes Battery World, Bunnings Warehouse, Officeworks, Milwaukee, TTI, and Mobile Muster.
Under the Agreement, effective 1 August 2022, Envirostream will provide battery recycling services for participating Battery World Franchise sites across Australia. This allows Envirostream to collect spent batteries (including lithium batteries, but excluding lead acid batteries) from Battery World’s network of more than 110 stores nationally.
Execution of the Agreement follows a trial of spent-battery collection services by Envirostream in several Battery World stores within South-East Queensland.
Access to this network diversifies Envirostream’s collection points and has the potential to increase volumes at its facilities in Victoria. The new site at Laverton was commissioned specifically to increase Envirostream’s capacity in preparation for the expected increase in volumes of end-of-life batteries. Envirostream now has access to over 800 collection points nationally.
Battery World and Envirostream have worked together to ensure drop-off points for spent batteries, within the Battery World Franchise network, are not only convenient and safe for customers but also facilitate efficient collection by Envirostream and meet the eligibility requirements for the nation’s official product stewardship scheme,
Battery World General Manager, Johnny Kennedy, said: “As an Australian owned and operated company, Envirostream aligns perfectly to our commitment of doing our part to help our planet and mission to support local businesses.
“Our partnership with Envirostream will provide an easy solution for our customers to recycle their end-of-life batteries.”
