Tóm tắt

The EU has announced new legislation surrounding the collection, recycling and reuse of batteries following a provisional political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council. The legislation - known as “Batteries Regulation” were adopted by the European Council, establish waste collection and material recovery targets that will increase at set points over the next decade. Additionally, they restrict the use of hazardous materials in battery production and require the due diligence of suppliers - who will have to demonstrate that their materials were sourced in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
