The "Brennpunkt: Batterie” campaign is an initiative of the members of the Federal Association of German Waste Management or Bundesverband der Deutschen Entsorgungs (BDE). The campaign has two aims: provide information on the correct disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries and raise awareness of the consequences of incorrect disposal.

The "Brennpunkt: Batterie” German campaign includes a nationwide sticker campaign. The aim is to equip as many waste garbage cans as possible with warning stickers to stop incorrect disposal and draw attention to the correct disposal of batteries.

BDE has put together a working group around battery fires and insurance cover. Many affected companies have joined to develop solutions for fire prevention and protection, to raise awareness and guarantee current and future insurance cover.

In addition to the campaign, BDE website provides a guide which explains legal bases for the disposal of waste containing lithium batteries and cells. BDW want o use this guide to provide information and eliminate current uncertainties in the industry.
