Proposal for a New Regulation on Batteries
The European Commission has published a proposal for a New Regulation on Batteries aiming to modernize the EU rules. EU law aims to minimize batteries’ harmful effects on the environment.
The rules cover their full life cycle, from design & production to reuse & recycling.
In line with the Green Deal and other sustainability-related policies, this initiative would update EU rules to ensure:
- All batteries are produced sustainably (i.e. with low resource consumption and little waste generated) and can be easily recycled;
- Any batteries used in the growing market for electric vehicles are sustainable.
The proposal was in feedback period from 28 May 2020 to 9 July 2020.
On October 2020 has been published a briefing on Batteries Directive.
This briefing examines the implementation of the Batteries Directive in light of the upcoming European Commission proposal to modify the directive or prepare a proposal for a completely new regulation, to repeal the directive.
The Commission proposal, to be accompanied by an impact assessment, is expected in the fourth quarter of 2020.
