Batteries Transport is a joint industry initiative with the goal of facilitating the implementation of the legal requirements applicable to the transport of battery cells, batteries and equipment containing batteries.
In May 2018, as part of the third 'Europe on the move' mobility package, it adopted a dedicated strategic action plan on batteries, with a range of measures covering raw materials extraction, sourcing and processing, battery materials, cell production, battery systems, reuse and recycling.
The EU 2006 Battery Directive is being revised with a new Batteries Regulation proposed in December 2020 for mandatory collection and recycling of automotive EV batteries. 14 It calls for a carbon footprint declaration for batteries sold in Europe starting in 2024.
Free of charge, BatteriesTransport.org offers general information for shippers, transport operators and end-users. It also includes frequently asked questions and two dedicated eBooks with all relevant testing, packaging, labelling and reporting instructions per transport mode.
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. (2) China also has introduced policies promoting the collection, repurposing, and recycling of spent LIBs.
The EU could account for 17 % of that demand. According to some forecasts, the battery market could be worth of €250 billion a year by 2025. Batteries' manufacturing, use and end-of-life handling, however, raise a number of environmental and social challenges.
