Bebat is a mid-sized environmental services organization based in Tienen, in the Flemish region of Belgium, focused on giving used batteries a new life. Established in 1995 as a non-profit by major battery manufacturers to support extended producer responsibility, it coordinates collection, sorting, reuse where possible, and recycling of batteries of all sizes. It operates through a broad network—more than 23,000 collection points and about 4,500 affiliated participants—and processes over 4,000 tonnes of batteries each year, reflecting Belgium’s strong performance in this area. The organization serves producers and importers by helping them meet legal obligations related to extended producer responsibility through its network, ensuring batteries are collected, sorted, recycled, reused, or repurposed, and by raising public awareness. In December 2021 Bebat announced the introduction of an environmental contribution for Energy Storage Systems, effective January 2022, signaling expansion into home and similar ESS applications as battery technology evolves. It emphasizes ongoing optimization and collaboration with partners and sector bodies to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of collection and recycling.
