Scope The regulation applies to all batteries, including all: batteries for light means of transport (LMT) such as electric bikes, e-mopeds and e-scooters. Targets It sets out rules covering the entire life cycle of batteries.
The regulation established requirements for sustainability, safety and labelling of batteries as well as requirements for end-of-life management. It sets targets for collection, recovery and recycling, with specific goals for different types of batteries: Minimum Levels of Recycled Content Recycling efficiency Targets for batteries
Therefore, battery recycling is emerging as a critical component of sustainable battery management, which requires both regulation development and technological advancement. Notably, the European Union (EU) has set regulations requiring at least 6% recycled lithium and nickel and 16% recycled cobalt in new batteries from 2031.
Management of chemicals is covered by Art. 6, which includes a process to regulate hazardous substances used in batteries, duplicating the existing and well-established REACH restriction process set out in Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
As part of the EU Green Deal and building on the Strategic Action Plan on Batteries, the European Commission proposed in 2020 a new regulation on batteries and waste batteries, enacted on 12 July 2023, and in force August 2023.
The proposal seeks to introduce mandatory requirements on sustainability (such as carbon footprint rules, minimum recycled content, performance and durability criteria), safety and labelling for the marketing and putting into service of batteries, and requirements for end-of-life management.
