The Regulation entered into force on 17 August 2023 and repeals the Batteries Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). It continues to restrict the use of mercury and cadmium in batteries and introduces a restriction for lead in portable batteries. It also aims to: reduce environmental and social impacts throughout the entire battery life cycle.
Under the new rules, minimum levels of recovered cobalt (16%), lead (85%), lithium (6%) and nickel (6%) from manufacturing and consumer waste must be reused in new batteries. The new rules foresee that batteries will need to be easier to remove and replace, while consumers are better informed.
Battery cells or battery modules made available for end use without further incorporation or assembly into larger battery packs or batteries will be regarded as batteries under the regulation, subject to the requirements for the most similar battery category.
According to some forecasts, at global and EU level, lead-acid technologies will still prevail in 2025 in terms of volume, but the lithium-ion market will become greater in terms of value from 2018 onwards. Between 2018 and 2030, global lead-acid battery demand may grow by a factor of around 1.1.
Parliament approved the agreed text on 14 June 2023. The regulation was published in the EU Official Journal on 28 July 2023. Procedure completed. The issue of batteries is relevant to many policy areas, from transport, climate action and energy to waste and resources.
