Initiative summary:
The Commission is working to update the EU battery legislation, covering the life cycle of all types of batteries (design and production, and collection, reuse and recycling of waste batteries). It will address the shortcomings identified in the evaluation of Directive 2006/66/EU, and the circular and low carbon economy perspectives. This is part of the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan and wider industrial and energy policies, notably the Strategic Action Plan on Batteries.
