The Council today adopted a new regulation that strengthens sustainability rules for batteries and waste batteries. For the first time EU law will regulate the entire life cycle of a battery – from production to reuse and recycling – and ensure that batteries are safe, sustainable and competitive.
Since 2006, batteries and waste batteries have been regulated at EU level under the Batteries Directive. The Commission proposed to revise this Directive in December 2020 due to new socioeconomic conditions, technological developments, markets, and battery uses. Demand for batteries is increasing rapidly.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION? It aims to ensure that, in the future, batteries have a low carbon footprint, use minimal harmful substances, need fewer raw materials from non- European Union (EU) countries and are collected, reused and recycled to a high degree within the EU.
At the end of the first life, used batteries are not waste. Repurposed (second life) batteries are considered as new products which have to comply with the product requirements when they are placed on the market. 3. Collection rate for portable batteries
1.Treatment and recycling may be undertaken outside the Member State concerned or outside the Union, provided that the shipment of waste batteries is in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007.
Close to one-half (46%) of the portable batteries and accumulators sold in the EU were collected for recycling in 2022. From 2009 to 2022, the collected amount doubled. In 2022, 244 000 tonnes of portable batteries were sold in the EU. In the same year, 111 000 tonnes of used portable batteries were collected for recycling. Eurostat estimates:EU.
