Van Peperzeel: the collector of industrial/consumer batteries & metals 

Van Peperzeel is the largest collector of used lead acid batteries in the Netherlands. The annual collection amounts to many thousands of tons of old car batteries. We work together with nationally operating wholesalers in the automotive industry. The batteries are prepared for recycling and delivered to acknowledged processors in Europe.

In addition to the lead acid battery collection, Van Peperzeel is also active in buying and selling of various non-ferrous metals. About five thousand tons of non-ferrous metals and non-ferrous residues (you can think of old license plates, rims, car spent catalytic converters and a variety of industrial waste such as skimmings and turnings) passes our weighing scales annually.

Finally Van Peperzeel is the national sorting centre of waste consumer batteries. We work for Stibat (the Battery foundation) who is responsible in the Netherlands to help producers and importers to carry out their obligation to collect and process used consumer batteries.

Our experience in sorting these batteries over the years resulted in an unique knowledge about used batteries and its recycling possibilities. We offer these knowledge through consultancy contracts, helping different European countries setting up collecting schemes. We have delivered sorting installations and training programs in Greece, Ireland & Germany.
