GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK Ltd

Compliance statement
GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK Ltd (GYSUK) is fully committed to meeting its obligations as a “Producer” of industrial, automotive and motorcycle batteries under Directive 2006/66/EC and the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009.
GYSUK is registered on the NPWD database as a Producer: BPRN00774.

To ensure products are responsibly managed at end of life, GYSUK operates collection and recycling arrangements with authorised waste carriers and approved treatment facilities so that waste automotive, motorcycle and industrial batteries are collected from customers and recycled in accordance with applicable legislation.

Battery types placed on the UK market
As a wholesale industrial, automotive and motorcycle battery distributor, GYSUK has, during the current and preceding three compliance periods, placed the following chemistries on the UK market:

Industrial

• Valve Regulated Lead (Pb) Acid (VRLA) batteries

• Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cylindrical batteries (e.g. for emergency lighting)

Automotive

• Lead (Pb) Acid batteries

Motorcycle

• Lead (Pb) Acid batteries

Waste battery take-back arrangements
As a Producer, GYSUK will offer to take back waste industrial batteries from end users within a reasonable time during the compliance period, subject to:

• The end user being supplied by GYSUK with new industrial batteries during the compliance period;

• The end user being unable, for any reason, to return waste industrial batteries to the original producer; and

• The waste product being of the same chemistry as industrial batteries first placed on the UK market by GYSUK in the compliance period or any of the preceding three years.

Nothing in the Regulations prevents a producer of industrial, automotive and motorcycle batteries from agreeing alternative arrangements to finance the net costs of collection, treatment and recycling that differ from those otherwise provided for in the Regulations.

Annual policy review
In accordance with the Regulations (including, as applicable, regulations 35 and 36(3)), GYSUK will review this policy annually on or before 1 December preceding each compliance period and publish the updated policy on its website.

Collection containers & segregation
GYSUK can supply account holders with appropriately labelled waste battery bins (chemistry/type dependent). When containers are full, collections will be arranged via authorised carriers at no cost to the customer.
Please do not mix industrial, automotive and motorcycle batteries or different chemistries in the same container.
