Producers <strong>of</strong> portable batteries are required to achieve collection rates <strong>of</strong> 25% (415<br />

tonnes) by 26 September 2012 and 45% (747 tonnes) by 26 September 2016.<br />

This estimate extrapolated from the 2008 DEFRA report would suggest that contrary<br />

to the figures quoted in Table 24-2, the quantities <strong>of</strong> portable batteries requiring<br />

diversion from final disposal could in fact be as high as the figures shown in Table<br />

24-3. Unfortunately no reliable baseline information exists for the portable battery<br />

collection rate prior to the introduction <strong>of</strong> the Directive, but given the limited collection<br />

infrastructure at that time this is believed to be less than 1%.<br />
