Luxembourg battery EPR fees 2026 (Ecobatterien)
Luxembourg's 2026 batteries of four-wheel-plus electric and hybrid vehicles rate is 7.02 € per unit. Basis: Batteries of four-wheel-plus electric and hybrid vehicles (lead, lithium, NiCd, etc.) · Portable lead batteries sold separately
How fees are set
Ecobatterien — The only approved battery eco-organisation in Luxembourg; membership is compulsory for producers of portable and automotive batteries, optional (against individual approval) for industrial and electric-vehicle batteries.
Ecobatterien is the single approved battery eco-organisation in Luxembourg, continuing the country's pattern of one scheme per waste stream. Its 2026 tariff is unusual in two ways. First, it publishes amounts including VAT and per piece, where almost every other scheme in this dataset publishes excluding VAT, so the figures are not directly comparable without adjusting. Second, it splits every portable and industrial line twice over: once for batteries sold separately and once for batteries built into appliances, at identical amounts, and then again by whether the contribution is 'all in' — collection, treatment and reporting — or 'mutualisée', which covers collection and treatment only at certain collection points. Lead batteries carry a published contribution of zero in every category except household storage, reflecting the positive scrap value of lead. Producers also pay a flat annual membership fee scaled to the recycling contributions due; members of the Luxembourg Confederation, the Fédération des Artisans or Fedil are exempt from it. Declarations are quarterly above 250 EUR of annual contribution and annual below it.
Declaration basis: EUR per piece INCLUDING VAT (TTC/pièce), plus a flat annual membership fee scaled to total contributions due. Official rates page: ecobatterien.lu ↗

note 1 — 'all in' contribution: covers collection and treatment of waste batteries plus reporting to the competent authorities note 2 — Amount is per piece INCLUDING VAT (TTC/pièce) These sentences are stored on every individual row in the dataset; they are printed once here rather than repeated on each line of the table.
ᴮ bonus / discount · ᴹ malus / surcharge. Comparability warning: Luxembourg is the only battery scheme in this channel that publishes VAT-inclusive prices. Every other per-item rate here excludes VAT, so a Luxembourg figure is not directly comparable with them without adding or removing the applicable VAT. Lead battery lines are published at exactly 0,00 € — that zero is the official rate, not a missing value. The flat annual membership fee is not a rate and is not in the table.
