Rebat stands for REcycling BAtteries. REBAT is an initiative managed by the British Battery Manufacturers Association to encourage collection of nickel cadmium batteries in the UK, as required under European legislation.
When future European legislation requires the collection of all portable batteries REBAT will extend its remit to manage all types.
The British Battery Manufacturers Association was formed in 1986 and represents the manufacturers of portable batteries, both primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable).
The ReBAT website provides information about battery collection and recycling.
