The impact of the implementation of the EU's new battery law on enterprises Release Time:2023-10-11

With the increasing global demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy, the battery industry is also developing rapidly, but it has also brought about the disposal of a large number of used batteries. Pollution and sustainable development have become the focus of social attention. To this end, the EU has introduced a new battery law 2023/1542, which is a comprehensive revision of the existing battery directive 2006/66/EC to adapt to the current background of surge in battery demand. The new Battery Bill proposes new regulations for the design, production and waste management of all types of batteries, including rules for battery sustainability, performance, safety, collection, recycling and secondary life.


The scope of application of this bill covers all types of batteries within the EU, except batteries for military, aerospace, nuclear energy and other special purposes. Batteries are classified into five categories: electric vehicle batteries (EV batteries), light vehicle batteries (LMT batteries), starting/lighting and ignition batteries (SLI batteries), industrial batteries, and portable batteries.


Key measures of the new battery regulations include restrictions on mercury, cadmium and lead, mandatory carbon footprint declarations and labeling for rechargeable industrial batteries, light vehicle batteries and electric vehicle batteries with a capacity greater than 2kWh, as well as requirements for all economic operations. due diligence policy of the company, etc. At the same time, the new battery bill also requires battery manufacturers to establish recycling and reuse systems to ensure the recycling and reuse of batteries. At the same time, the new regulations also limit the content of certain harmful substances in batteries to protect the environment and human health.


For domestic enterprises, they need to establish an environmental management system that complies with EU standards in accordance with the requirements of new regulations, adopt more environmentally friendly technologies and equipment, and improve the environmental performance and energy efficiency of products. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen research and investment in carbon footprint, carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality, establish a recycling and reuse system, and ensure that the environmental performance and energy efficiency of products meet EU standards.


In terms of labeling, it is necessary to provide corresponding carbon footprint, carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality information on product labels in accordance with the requirements of new regulations so that consumers can understand the environmental performance and energy efficiency of the product.


In general, the impact of the new battery bill on domestic companies is twofold, with both challenges and opportunities. Domestic enterprises need to actively respond by upgrading technology and improving production processes to adapt to the requirements of new regulations. At the same time, they must seize opportunities to improve their environmental performance and energy efficiency, improve their competitiveness, and enter the EU market.
