[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”297791″]On February 18, 2024,<\/strong> an era of new obligations began: The EU Battery Regulation comes into force to comprehensively regulate the requirements of batteries across their entire life cycle – from resource procurement and production to disposal. Efforts are already underway in Austria to implement this regulation, which requires coordination across various ministries. The innovations in the EU Battery Regulation 2024 will set a new standard. In addition to ensuring the efficient functioning of the internal market, the aim of the new EU regulation<\/strong> is to prevent negative environmental impacts of batteries and to protect human health and the environment. All types of batteries are affected by the new regulations. <\/p>\n

What is changing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The regulation brings with it many new requirements<\/strong> , such as carbon footprint and labelling requirements, and sets ambitious targets for collection and recycling. The collection rate for waste portable batteries is to be increased to 63% by 2027 and to 73% by 2030. In addition, the introduction of recycled content for certain types of batteries will influence production and disposal processes. <\/p>\n
