Battery collection
The international dangerous goods regulation makes extensive conditions for the transport of spent lithium batteries. This battery type can normally be found in every used battery mix and since they are considered dangerous waste, the total mix is subject to dangerous goods regulations.
These regulations require that no pressure can build up in the shipping container. The moving space of batteries should also be limited during transport. The content cannot connect with conductive materials. And last but not least, the container should be approved according to UN regulation.
CurTec drums bear the appropriate UN marking and meet all packaging requirements made by the UN. You don not need to worry about legal obligations when using our drums.
Among our customers are GRS, Stibat and Inobat who represent the battery collection and disposal in Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland. All three organisations use CurTec drums which we have developed or modified according to their specific demands. Read the business cases:
