Enva has unveiled the Battery Safe Box, a new solution designed for the secure storage and transport of waste and defective lithium-ion batteries.
With capacity for up to 400kg and 20kWh, the unit is engineered to contain fires caused by thermal runaway, supporting safer handling across logistics and recycling environments.
The system has been approved by the UK’s Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), having passed fire containment and drop tests to meet UN Dangerous Goods Packing Instruction P911 requirements.
A standout feature is its L-shaped Gas Lift Lid, which improves accessibility and streamlines loading – addressing common handling challenges that often lead to improper storage. Additional design elements include front-loading access, Class 1 fire-resistant insulation, and stackable construction for efficient use of space.
“The Battery Safe Box exemplifies Enva’s ongoing commitment to delivering safe, innovative, and sustainable resource recovery solutions across the UK and Ireland,” Diane Rainsford, Head of Batteries at Enva. “With lithium-ion battery fires increasing by 46% last year, this approved and easy-to-use storage solution addresses a critical safety need, providing customers with a tested and accredited way to safely store and transport batteries to licensed recycling facilities.”
Forklift and pallet truck compatibility, robust toggle clips, and clean segregation options further support the Safe Box’s usability across collection, transport, and recycling operations.
