The specific obligations in relation to waste batteries depend on their type, but all require registration with the appropriate environmental regulator via the National Packaging Waste Database.
Common electronic and electrical equipment waste includes products like batteries, light bulbs, fridges, and TVs. The tables list most waste codes for electronic equipment waste disposed of in United Kingdom. Review the technical guidance for additional classifications not found in these waste code tables.
Various recycling technologies are depicted, i.e., physical recycling, direct recycling, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgy recycling methods, which promote the green transformation. Hence, the waste battery recycling industry holds significant potential for application and development.
In this scenario, BM from LIBs-based batteries has achieved 100% classification in six categories: HP3—Flammable, HP4—Irritant, HP5—STOT, HP6—Acute Toxicity, HP8—Corrosive, and HP11—Mutagenic.
Then, battery retailers are obligated to recycle used cells in Denmark, Sweden, and other European countries, and they implemented a special excise tax of 6–8% on batteries sold. According to ref. 31, the recycling rate of waste batteries and mobile phone batteries has exceeded 75% in Denmark and 95% in Sweden.
In the United Kingdom (UK) batteries and accumulators are regulated to help protect the environment through the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009 (as amended) – the underpinning legislation: An automotive battery is of any size or weight and used for one of the following:
