Tienen (Eurotoday Newspaper): Villa Pila in Tienen has educated over 35,000 students from 1,000 primary schools since 2010, focusing on battery recycling. Nele Peters from Bebat emphasizes teaching youth about battery usage and recycling habits for a sustainable future.
Villa Pila, the House of the Battery in Tienen, has been an important educational center since it opened in 2010. Over the past 15 years, it has welcomed more than 1,000 primary schools and 35,000 students, teaching them how to sort and recycle batteries in a fun way. With the shift from regular batteries to rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in smartphones and electric vehicles, Villa Pila has updated its exhibits and materials to stay relevant. A complete renovation was carried out to reflect these changes and to align its educational mission with today’s recycling challenges.
What new exhibits and interactive activities does Villa Pila in Tienen offer for battery education?
Villa Pila has been updated with new exhibits that show the latest battery technologies, their impact on the environment, and new recycling methods. There are fun interactive tools like digital screens and hands-on activities for young visitors to learn. The facility highlights the importance of battery recycling for a sustainable future and connects these lessons to larger global issues. With improved spaces for workshops and activities, Villa Pila aims to inspire future generations to be more environmentally friendly and continue its role as a leader in educating about sustainability.
Villa Pila has introduced a new battery wall that showcases over 100 types of batteries, from old ones that are 220 years old to a new electric car battery. There’s also a new film about recycling, and students can try making a battery with a lemon. Nele Peters from Bebat says it’s important to teach young people about how batteries work and what happens to them, as they will be the adults who pass on good recycling habits to future generations.

Ah, Villa Pila in Tienen – where 35,000 students are now experts in battery recycling, because clearly, the world’s biggest problem was a lack of teenage eco-warriors armed with knowledge about dead batteries. One can only imagine the riveting conversations at the pub: “Did you hear about Nele? She’s teaching the kids how to save the planet, one AA at a time!” Bravo, Nele, for turning the next generation into recycling aficionados – because who wouldn’t want to be the life of the party with that kind of trivia?

Ah, Villa Pila in Tienen—where 35,000 students have discovered that recycling batteries is the new “it” activity, because if there’s one thing kids need to learn before they conquer the world, it’s how to repurpose their smartphone’s lifeblood while simultaneously curing the planet’s woes—because, you know, saving the environment was just too dull without a side of interactive lemon batteries and a dazzling wall of ancient batteries that could probably tell a few stories of their own!
