Brussels, July 10th (Xinhua) - The European Council passed a new regulation on July 10th aimed at strengthening the management of batteries and waste batteries. This regulation will regulate the entire lifecycle of batteries from production to recycling and reuse, and ensure their safety, sustainability, and competitiveness.

In a press release released on the same day, the European Council said that the new regulations would apply to all batteries, including used portable batteries, Electric vehicle battery, industrial batteries, etc., aiming to promote the circular economy by regulating the entire life cycle of batteries. The new regulations therefore stipulate scrapping requirements, including collection targets and obligations for waste batteries, material recycling targets, etc. For example, the lithium recovery rate in waste batteries will reach 50% by the end of 2027 and 80% by the end of 2031.

This regulation will be signed by the European Council and the European Parliament and will take effect 20 days after its publication in the official gazette of the European Union.
