What happens with Batteries

The fraction is covered by producer responsibility legislation. BOFA is therefore only responsible for the collection and short-term storage of the fraction.

The manufacturer, or company (ERP, European Recycling Denmark) hired by the producer is responsible for the fraction being recycled, reused, recovered or disposed of after collection/storage.
