From September 5 to 13, 2026, the 12th European Battery and Accumulator Recycling Week will take place. Organized by ecosystem, this awareness campaign aims to highlight the importance of battery and accumulator recycling and encourage people to adopt more sustainable habits.
An Important Contribution to Environmental Protection
Batteries and accumulators are part of everyday life. However, many used batteries are still stored in drawers and cupboards instead of being recycled. According to industry data, an average of 15 used batteries or accumulators can still be found in every French household, waiting to be returned for proper recycling.
Recycling helps recover valuable raw materials, conserve natural resources, and reduce environmental impact. It plays an important role in supporting a more sustainable and circular economy.
SOMMER France Supports ecosystem's Initiative
As a partner of ecosystem, SOMMER France supports this awareness campaign and helps promote the importance of battery and accumulator recycling.
The goal is to encourage customers, partners, and employees to take part and contribute to a more sustainable future. Even small actions can make a big difference. Collecting and properly recycling used batteries helps keep valuable materials in circulation and reduces waste.
Get Involved!
The European Battery and Accumulator Recycling Week is the perfect opportunity to check your home, office, or workshop for used batteries and accumulators and take them to a designated collection point.
Together, we can help conserve resources, reduce waste, and strengthen the circular economy.
