 France
The decree 99-374 of May 12, 1999 defines a framework of regulation to enhance the value of used batteries, whether they are integrated in an appliance or not.
According to this decree, all individuals or legal entities that manufacture, import, introduce, and/or distribute batteries under their own brand for household use are obliged to accept used rechargeable batteries, pre-sorted by type, either from the distributors or from the communities if these initiate their own collection programmes.
The same individuals or legal entities have the responsibility for enhancing the value of the collected batteries, either directly or through third parties.
For non-consumer applications, this responsibility is given to the final user.
