Ceva launches secure service for recycled batteries

[ March 20, 2026   //   ]

Ceva Logistics has launched a new secure maritime transport solution for used lithium-ion batteries to continental Europe. It uses shipping services operated by sister company CMA CGM and will initially five specially adapted containers.

 Growth in the market has fuelled the need for transport solutions for used batteries from island territories to recycling facilities on the mainland.

The new solution enables Ceva to reroute all types of used lithium-ion batteries to continental Europe so that they can be evaluated and processed into recycling systems and avoids the need for isolated countries including islands, having to manage an accumulation of used batteries on their land.

The used batteries are consolidated into containment vaults and then placed into larger shipping containers specifically designed to accommodate this type of cargo. Each shipping container can hold four vaults, with a capacity of up to six tonnes each.

Expert technician ensure the batteries are safely packed and loaded and they go through a technical and administrative review prior to shipping, including the completion of all tracking declarations and notification procedures by CEVA’s Reverse Logistics experts.

Ceva operates a comprehensive reverse logistics service for batteries, including the collection, handling, transport (by sea and/or road), temporary storage, diagnosis, and dismantling in one of its Battery Logistics Centers.
