Battery-Powered Products

In Quebec, battery regulations were expanded in 2022 to cover certain battery-powered products that contain built-in batteries weighing less than 5 kg. To help producers meet these obligations, Call2Recycle offers a turnkey collection and recycling solution for battery-powered products, as part of our Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program.

The program supports the safe collection, transport and recycling of eligible products, enabling the recovery of batteries contained in items such as electric toothbrushes, battery-powered toys, smoke alarms, rechargeable flashlights and more.

The program helps manufacturers, importers and retailers meet their Extended Producer Responsibilities (EPR) requirements in Quebec, while also supporting municipalities and other partners in the safe collection and management of battery-powered products and their batteries.

To provide a convenient solution for consumers, the program also collects similar products with removable batteries.
