Battery Waste Audit Services under Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022

Battery EPR Compliance and Waste Management Audit Services
With the growing use of lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, EV batteries, industrial batteries, and consumer electronics, battery waste is emerging as a significant environmental and public health concern. Improper disposal of battery waste can release hazardous substances such as lead, lithium, cadmium, nickel, and corrosive electrolytes, contaminating soil, water, and air.

The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 mandate responsible management of waste batteries through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), environmentally sound recycling, and strict regulatory compliance.

Simplicomp Tech LLP provides structured Battery Waste Audit services to help producers, importers, manufacturers, brand owners, bulk consumers, recyclers, and battery users verify compliance, assess risks, and implement safe, lawful, and sustainable battery waste management systems.

What Is a Battery Waste Audit?

A Battery Waste Audit is a systematic assessment of :-

Types and quantities of batteries used and discarded

Battery waste storage, handling, and disposal practices

Compliance with the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022

Effectiveness of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)mechanisms

Environmental, safety, and legal risks related to battery waste

It ensures organisations move beyond basic compliance toward circular economy and sustainable battery lifecycle management.
