The European Commission has proposed the revaluation and modernisation of EU legislation on batteries, addressing the social, economic, and environmental issues related to all types of batteries.<\/h2>\n
The Commission suggests that according to new EU legislation on batteries, batteries placed on the EU market should become sustainable, high-performing, and safe along their entire life cycle. This means that batteries must be produced with the lowest possible environmental impact, using materials obtained in full respect of human rights as well as social and ecological standards. Batteries must be long-lasting and safe, and at the end of their life, they should be repurposed, remanufactured, or recycled, feeding valuable materials back into the circular economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
