An Ontario Batteries Regulation term for a person who processes used consumer batteries for resource recovery.
Battery processor is a processing-actor term for resource recovery, not a refurbisher and not merely a hauler. It sits after collection and transport and needs evidence of facility, input batch, processing route, and output or management result.
This is an Ontario source-specific processing term. It should not be collapsed into UK approved battery treatment operator wording, EU recycler wording, India recycler wording, or generic recycler terminology. It is not merely a hauler, and it should be kept separate from collection and refurbishment roles.
O. Reg. 30/20: Batteries
a person who processes, for the purpose of resource recovery, batteries used by a consumer in Ontario
Ontario source-specific battery EPR definition under O. Reg. 30/20; do not collapse into EU, UK, India, Brazil, or Australia definitions without review.
Reference: Section 1
Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with battery stewardship operations policy: separates scope gates, approvals, collection, transport, processing, registration, refurbishment, and management-obligation evidence.
Implementation records should capture processor identifier, processing facility, input battery batch, output record, receipt date, processing method, battery type, quantity/weight, downstream destination, compliance evidence, and residual/waste status.
Battery processor is the processing-actor control for Ontario stewardship evidence. It should link received batches, facility records, processing methods, outputs, residuals, and downstream destinations so processing claims are not reduced to a company name.
