* No guarantee on arrival time due to traffic conditions. Van Peperzeel was founded in 1978 starting as a small scrap dealer. Over the years the company has grown into an important player on the Dutch market. Not only because of their specialty of non-ferrous metals and non ferrous residues, i.e. industrial waste such as skimming’s and turnings. Today the company is leading in the collection of lead acid batteries in the Netherlands. They work for nationally operating wholesalers in the automotive industry. The annual collecting amounts to many thousands of tons of old car batteries. The batteries are prepared for recycling and delivered to acknowledged processors in Europe. Finally Van Peperzeel is well known around the world for its expertise on all aspects of waste consumer batteries. Their modern premises in Lelystad houses the national sorting centre of waste consumer batteries in the Netherlands. More and more products run on consumer batteries nowadays. From keyboards to children’s toys. Daily, hundreds of different brands and types of consumer batteries throughout the world reach our country and after a while they are thrown away, turned in or disposed by producers. Luckily, all consumer batteries are recyclable nowadays which makes recycling possible. Van Peperzeel works closely together with Stibat (the Battery foundation). Stibat has been founded to help producers and importers to carry out their obligation to collect and process used consumer batteries. Van Peperzeel takes care of Stibat’s collecting, sorting and processing of all consumer batteries throughout the Netherlands. Annually, more than 3.000 tons of consumer batteries are sorted with the help of specially designed machines. This means over 500.000 batteries each day are sorted. The experience in sorting these batteries over the years resulted in an unique knowledge about used batteries and its recycling possibilities. Van Peperzeel offers these knowledge through consultancy contracts, helping different European companies and/or countries setting up collecting schemes. More information at: www.peperzeel.nl
