In Europe, the recycling landscape is evolving in response to stringent regulations aimed at enhancing sustainability.The European Union has implemented new directives requiring battery manufacturers to recycle at least 65% of a battery''s weight by 2025, increasing to 70% by 2030.These regulations also mandate that all batteries include a battery
The decision to recycle or repurpose a battery should be left to the market and to the economic actors involved once a battery has reached its end of life stage in the application
Our team of Environmental specialists manages your company''s reporting obligations for batteries by submitting periodic Battery declarations which are compliant to country specific (EU) 2023/1542 related requirements and compliance scheme specific formats and due dates.
Embracing circular economy by incorporating EPR battery waste management provides several advantages: It lessens the environmental footprint of battery production by reducing the extraction...
The batteries value chain & EPR obligations: The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is key to ensure that batteries are correctly collected and recycled at the end of their life. It is key to assign the EPR responsibilities to the right actor along the batteries value chain. Battery manufacturers have no information on the placing on the market
The decision to recycle or repurpose a battery should be left to the market and to the economic actors involved once a battery has reached its end of life stage in the application they had been initially designed for. The remanufacturer will benefit directly from this activity, and should therefore cover the cost of this activity.
In this article, through case studies, we explain the method to calculate the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets for Producers under the Battery Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. 1. Type of Batteries
If you are a manufacturer introducing batteries or accumulators into circulation for the first time, importing them, or selling products with batteries, you must register with the EAR Foundation for the corresponding battery brand and class according to the EPR EU Directive and national requirements.
global battery demand is expected to increase 14-fold by 2030 . 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'' manufactu ring, use and -endof-life handling, however, raise a number of environmental and social challenges.
In this paper, we assess the impact of a country''s (exporter''s) adoption of EPR on trade (exports) of waste generated by batteries. In particular, we consider those regulations that are clearly attributable to the EPR concept and that affect battery producers.

EPR battery waste management entrusts the responsibility for the complete lifecycle of batteries to the manufacturers and producers. It is because of the incorporation of this approach that producers are prompted to design batteries with recycling and correct disposal in mind.
The concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has indeed sprung up as a potent process for handling the environmental effects of battery disposal and facilitating circular economy. EPR battery waste management entrusts the responsibility for the complete lifecycle of batteries to the manufacturers and producers.
In this context, we examine the impact of extended producer responsibility (EPR) on the export of waste batteries (WB). EPR is considered as a key policy for the “marketization of waste”. WB are a hazardous waste that also contain a high concentration of critical raw materials.
• The EPR target for recyclable portable batteries used in non-consumer electronics starts in year 2025-26. • The EPR target for EV batteries in E-Rickshaw (3 wheelers) starts in year 2024-25. • The EPR target for EV batteries in two (2) wheeler vehicles starts in year 2026-27.
Targets for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) • Producers shall meet their EPR obligation through EPR certificates provided by the recyclers/ refurbishers on the CPCB’s online portal. • There are year wise EPR targets as well as cumulative EPR target for the given compliance cycle. These targets are different for different type of batteries.
Once the waste is collected, the EPR imposes an obligation on producers to recycle or dispose of it at home or abroad. Therefore, if collected waste cannot be treated domestically due to a disadvantage (higher relative costs) in terms of waste management system and recycling facilities, exports in waste may well increase.
