Speaking at the recent NSW Parliament Inquiry into e-scooters, e-bikes, and micro-mobility solutions, Guido Verbist, Revolve ReCYCLING’s leader, highlighted a growing issue: the risks associated with substandard e-bike and e-scooter batteries.
Since 2021, Revolve Recycling has diverted over 10,000 bikes from landfill, redeploying or recycling thousands more. However, with the surge in e-bikes and e-scooters, irresponsible battery disposal has created new safety concerns.
Through our Green Wheels program and in partnership with the NSW EPA, we’re already working with bike shops to safely recycle bike materials. Now, we’re proposing a comprehensive battery recycling program to ensure the responsible storage, transport, and disposal of e-bike batteries. This program would create a safer pathway for battery disposal, while educating consumers and businesses on sustainable practices.
