🔋 Promoting a circular economy: New EU regulation for batteries and waste batteries 🔋 The EU has recently published a new regulation for batteries and waste batteries that covers their whole life cycle from production to reuse and recycling. It replaces the EU Batteries Directive and has some important changes for industry: ➡ It is a Regulation, not a Directive, so it has the same rules in all EU Member States. ➡ It has five battery types instead of three: portable, light transport vehicles (LMT), electric vehicles, industrial and SLI batteries. ➡ It sets out new obligations for manufacturers depending on the battery type, such as: ·      Carbon footprint declaration ·      Recycled content requirements ·      Performance and durability requirements ·      Removability and replaceability obligations ·      Labels with information on capacity, duration etc. #Circulareconomy #Batteries #Ramboll #Letsclosethegap #Partnerforsustainablechange

🌍🔋🇪🇺 Exciting News: EU Parliament Approves New Battery Regulation for a Sustainable Future! 🌱♻️ The European Parliament overwhelmingly approved new rules for the design, production, and waste management of ALL types of batteries sold in the EU! 🙌 With 587 votes in favour, nine against, and 20 abstentions, this monumental decision marks a huge stride toward a greener and more sustainable future. 🌏 This regulation is all about embracing the future while safeguarding our planet. Here are some key measures and highlights: 🔋 Carbon Footprint Declaration: A compulsory carbon footprint declaration and label for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, light means of transport (LMT) batteries (think electric scooters and bikes), and rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity above 2kWh. 🌱 Design for Easy Replacement: Batteries in portable appliances will be designed in a way that consumers can easily remove and replace them, reducing waste. 📲 Digital Battery Passport: Introduction of a digital battery passport for LMT batteries, industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh, and EV batteries, enhancing transparency. 🤝 Due Diligence Policy: Establishment of a due diligence policy for all economic operators (excluding SMEs), ensuring responsible practices. 🔄 Stricter Recycling Targets: Stricter waste collection targets for portable batteries, LMT batteries, and more. By 2030, we aim to recycle a whopping 73% of portable batteries! 🌿 Material Recovery: Minimum levels of materials to be recovered from waste batteries, promoting sustainability: lithium, cobalt, copper, lead, and nickel. 🔄 Recycled Content: Minimum levels of recycled content from manufacturing and consumer waste for use in new batteries, reducing the demand for raw materials. Our shared aim is to build a stronger EU recycling industry, particularly for lithium, and a competitive industrial sector, crucial for our continent's energy transition and strategic autonomy. These measures could set a benchmark for the global battery market! 🌐💪 Let's applaud this significant step toward a sustainable and greener future together! 🎉🌿 Share this post and be a part of the change! 💚🔋 #EUbatteryRegulation #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #GreenFuture https://lnkd.in/gkVAMueC

Battery recycling, reuse and repurposing is a core component of the transition to net zero emissions transport. And Australia's battery recycling industry is gearing up and investing to support this change. Industry will bring its expertise to support the Victorian Government's consultation on the transformation of Victoria’s bus fleet of approximately 4,500 diesel buses to zero emission buses. In Victoria, from 2025, all new public transport buses purchased will be zero emission buses (ZEBs). For further information look at the Department of Transport and Planning's consultation paper on the proposed approach to the ZEB transition, together with some of the challenges and opportunities, in the Zero Emission Bus Transition Consultation Paper (the Paper). Submissions are due by 3 September. https://lnkd.in/gPUUVGMq

Korean Customer Confirmed Order for Lithium Battery Recycling Machines. In a significant move towards sustainable technology. This commitment underscores the growing importance of eco-friendly solutions, as lithium batteries continue to dominate the energy storage landscape. The adoption of these recycling machines is a testament to the global shift towards circular economy practices, as they enable the efficient recovery and reutilization of valuable materials from spent batteries. This order signals not only a commitment to environmental responsibility but also the potential for substantial cost savings and resource conservation in the long term. #lithiumbattery #lithiumbatteryrecycling #EVcars #Sunyeurope

New EU Batteries Regulation: introducing enhanced sustainability, recycling and safety requirements and came into force on 17 August 2023 - Extends to all batteries sold in the EU, including industrial batteries. - Applies to all manufacturers placed within the EU market. - Applies independently of the origin of the batteries or raw materials. - All batteries will need to be "CE" marked. - All waste batteries – including LMT, EV, SLI and industrial batteries – must be collected by Economic Operators free of charge for end-users. - End-users shall discard waste batteries separately from other waste streams, in a designated, separate collection point set up by the producer. #recycling #batteries

By 2030, discarded batteries from EVs alone could reach a staggering 2.5 million tonnes! This says a lot about the hidden global challenge of battery waste. The path ahead is said to be a circular approach towards battery management. This is where the R-imperatives come into play. In recent times, they have evolved to 10 R’s (Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle, and Recover), but are inherently based on the fundamental 3 R’s of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: Narrowing material cycles (use less material overall) Slowing material cycles (keep materials in use for longer) Closing material cycles (keep materials in the loop) The R-imperatives are nothing but measures to establish a circular economy. Each R-imperative’s potential for the circular economy depends on the maturity of a technology, its industrial sector, and its inherent material properties. In light of the new EU Battery Regulation that was announced in July 2023, the R-imperatives become more important than ever to help build a sustainable future. By 2040, the EU Battery Regulation aims for recycling to supply over 40% of cobalt and more than 15% of lithium, nickel, and copper for battery production in Europe. The EU Battery Regulation also proposes a battery passport, where batteries over 2kWh will need a digital record of their makeup and sustainability credentials.
