Switzerland advance battery disposal fee 2026 (INOBAT, statutory VEG)
Switzerland charges 373× more per kg for electric fence batteries than for button cells, all systems (2026). Basis: Electric fence batteries (all) — 6AS6 Ammonium Chlorid, 130 Ah · Button cells, all systems (excl. button-cell packs) — alle pro Stück
How fees are set
INOBAT — Statutory advance disposal fee (vorgezogene Entsorgungsgebühr, VEG) under ChemRRV Annex 2.15 and the federal VEG ordinance; use of the proceeds is supervised by the Swiss Confederation.
INOBAT collects the Swiss advance disposal fee for batteries, the vorgezogene Entsorgungsgebühr. It is not a scheme contribution but a fee set in law under Annex 2.15 of the Chemical Risk Reduction Ordinance and the federal ordinance fixing its level, with the use of the proceeds supervised by the Confederation. Switzerland is outside the EU and does not apply Regulation (EU) 2023/1542: the Swiss tariff runs on its own taxonomy of device batteries, industrial batteries and vehicle batteries, and the dividing line between the first two is 1 kg, not the 5 kg the EU uses for portable batteries. The tariff is published as a lookup table of INOBAT article numbers — 1 391 priced lines across the two 2026 schedules — because producers declare per piece: a named battery type such as AAA/R03 carries its own fee, and everything heavier runs in weight bands, from 100 g steps for industrial packs up to 20 kg steps for electric-vehicle batteries, with a per-kilogram fallback stated above the top band of each family. Companies affiliated to SENS eRecycling additionally pay a voluntary recycling contribution alongside the statutory fee; only the statutory fee is carried here.
Declaration basis: CHF per unit excl. VAT, by INOBAT article number (battery type and weight band); no euro normalisation applied. Official rates page: inobat.ch ↗

This scheme publishes 1391 rate rows for 2026, of which 1340 are weight-band ladders. Those are shown below grouped by ladder, each with its number of bands and the first-to-last rate span; entries that are not ladders — button cells, named battery types, individually coded products — are listed one by one as published. Every band is a separate row in the dataset with its own boundary wording; the complete band-by-band table is in the full export, not on this page.
