Registration with stiftung ear must be completed before a company places disposable or rechargeable batteries on the market in Germany for the first time. In addition, the volumes of disposable and rechargeable batteries placed on the market must be reported to a take-back system, for example the Stiftung GRS Batterien foundation. The Batteries Act allows manufacturers to employ third parties like Zentek in order to fulfil the relevant legal requirements. Stiftung ear has also recognised us as an authorised representative, which means we are authorised to carry out all tasks on behalf of foreign manufacturers in Germany.
