Battery collection and recycling, made audit-ready at every stage
One Odoo app that guides operators through hazmat-safe collection, multi-step recycling, certification tracking, and material-recovery economics, so every battery is accounted for from pickup to certified recovery.
The problem
Spent batteries move through a long, fragmented chain: scattered collection points, classified hazmat transport, multi-step recycling, and final accounting for recovered lead, lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Generic ERPs treat batteries as ordinary stock and bolt compliance on as an afterthought, so operators cannot quickly answer “prove this shipment was handled correctly” without digging through spreadsheets and disconnected point tools.
The solution
Battery Collection & Recycling ties the whole lifecycle to one record: a guided pipeline with prominent hazmat safety warnings, a visual process map for every recycling stage, and yield and cost-per-kg economics surfaced on every order, so operations and compliance teams work from the same live data.
Everything a recycler needs, built in
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Visual Collection Pipeline
A kanban pipeline grouped by stage shows a prominent red HAZMAT badge on any hazardous request, plus priority flags and activity tracking so nothing is missed.
Visual Recycling Process Map
A kanban process map tracks each recycling order through sorting, dismantling, extraction, refining, and completion, with a live yield-rate progress bar on every card.
Material Recovery & Yield Economics
Line-level recovery entries compute recovered weight, subtotal value, yield percentage, cost per kg, and margin automatically as materials are recorded.
Hazmat Transport Logistics
Dedicated transport records track carrier, vehicle, hazmat manifest reference, and hazard class through draft, in-transit, delivered, and cancelled states.
Compliance Certification Register
Licenses, transport permits, ISO certifications, and EPR registrations are tracked with automatic valid, expiring, or expired status per record.
Automated Expiry Alerts
A daily scheduled action checks every certification and, the moment one enters its expiring or expired window, schedules a follow-up activity and posts a warning message, with no duplicate alerts on re-runs.
Supplier Performance Scoring
Battery suppliers get quality and on-time scores that roll up into an overall score, plus a running count of collections sourced from each one.
Multi-Facility Support
Collection points, recycling plants, and warehouses are modeled as facilities, each with live certification and collection counts visible at a glance.
Chemistry & Material Master Data
Battery chemistries such as lead-acid, lithium-ion, NiMH, and nickel-cadmium carry hazard class and safety notes, each linked to the materials they recover.
How it works
Log the collection request
Capture source, chemistry, condition, and estimated weight; the hazard class and HAZMAT badge are set automatically from the battery chemistry.
Move it through the pipeline
Track the request through configurable stages and dispatch it with a hazmat-tracked transport record carrying its manifest reference and carrier.
Process and record recovery
Create a linked recycling order in one click, work it through the recycling stages, and log recovered materials line by line.
Prove compliance and profitability
Review yield rate, cost per kg, and margin on every order, and keep each facility's certifications current with automatic expiry alerts.
