Retailers handle thousands of products that contain batteries—both behind the scenes and on the sales floor. From handheld scanners and exit signs to power tools, toys, vape pens, and returns from customers, batteries are an invisible but critical part of your day-to-day operations.
When these batteries reach end of life—or are returned, damaged, or recalled—they become a safety risk and a compliance responsibility.
We help retailers manage battery waste safely, sustainably, and at scale.
Returned items, especially electronics and personal care devices, often include used or damaged batteries. Vesco offers programs to handle large volumes quickly and legally.
Lithium batteries can ignite under stress. Without proper handling, they pose a fire hazard to employees, facilities, and warehouse operations.
Batteries quietly pile up in backrooms, storerooms, and receiving areas. Vesco provides secure containers, shipping support, and training to reduce risk and keep your team safe.
From ESG reporting to zero-waste initiatives, battery recycling contributes directly to your brand's environmental and compliance benchmarks.
Vesco tracks material from collection to processing, offering chain-of-custody documentation and detailed reporting to meet internal audit or brand partner requirements.
Fire-safe, DOT-compliant battery containers tailored to retail environments—available in multiple sizes.
Rapid-response logistics for recalled or returned battery items, including fire-damaged or DDR (damaged/defective/recalled) units.
Keep your staff informed and protected with guides and signage for proper handling, storage, and packaging.
Whether you operate one store or one thousand, Vesco offers scalable programs to support your entire retail footprint.
Don't wait for a fire, fine, or compliance audit to build your battery recycling program. Partner with Vesco Clean Energy for a solution that delivers safety, traceability, and sustainability—without the complexity.
