تحمل تكاليف معالجة النفايات البطارية المفتوتة والعشوائية (Untracked Battery Disposal Cost Bearing)
Definition
The regulation explicitly states: 'Bear all financial costs resulting from the treatment or proper disposal of electronic waste and battery waste in coordination with the Competent Authority'[2]. Without tracking integration, retailers cannot easily identify which costs belong to which waste stream, manufacturer, or recycler. This creates duplicate payments, uncollected receivables from manufacturers, and misallocated P&L.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated: 3–7% of total battery waste treatment costs annually remain unbilled or unreconciled; typical facility: AED 50,000–200,000/year in cost overruns
- Frequency: Continuous (monthly cost accrual); annual reconciliation misses ~30–40% of attributable costs
- Root Cause: Manual invoicing from recyclers; lack of trace-back from waste batch to manufacturer; no real-time cost center assignment; delayed invoice matching
