CAR BATTERY RECYCLING
At Kia, we're as innovative as they come. And that goes for the full life cycle of our vehicles - from design through to car battery recycling. The eco-friendly treatment and disposal of end-of-life vehicles are among our primary environmental targets. That's why we apply Design for Recycling (DIR) guidelines. We have selected partners across Europe who can recover and recycle as much material from your car as possible, with a particularly comprehensive approach to recycling car batteries. They dispose of harmful substances safely, in accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC.
Kia UK Ltd. has appointed Autogreen Ltd to provide a government-approved national network of certified authorised treatment facilities (ATFs). They take care of the recovery, treatment and recycling of end-of-life Kia vehicles. Autogreen was launched specifically to manage the entire legislation, as required by the End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive. They have great experience within the industry and have built trusted relationships with many car manufacturers.
CAR BATTERY RECYCLING
In the UK, car battery recycling is widely encouraged as part of the EU-wide initiative to completely prohibit the landfill/incineration of automotive and industrial batteries. As a part of this initiative, all battery producers in the UK are required to be registered with the Government.
Car battery recycling and responsible disposal are also personal priorities for Kia as part of our mission to operate as sustainably as possible from the beginning of a vehicle's life span to the end. Kia UK Ltd. is registered as a Producer of Batteries under Registration Number BPRN01250.
