The launch of this app, named after the association itself and available for Android and iOS, coincided with the celebration of European Battery Recycling Day on September 9th. Initially, it offers the location of collection points in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, and Turkey, a list that will soon be expanded to include collection points in the other European countries that are members of Eucobat.
In addition to locating their nearest recycling center, users can also consult a frequently asked questions section about battery collection and recycling, as well as information and contact details for the various national systems for managing this type of waste.
Eucobat promotes European Battery Recycling Day to raise awareness among citizens about the importance of recycling this type of waste. In 2017 alone, the organization managed 2.3 billion units of this waste. Thanks to the launch of its app, Eucobat expects to increase this figure by making it easier for citizens to properly dispose of their used batteries.
The Eucobat app is now available for free download in 12 languages on the App Store and Google Play platforms.
