Government policies greatly impact lithium-ion battery sustainability. Regulations drive recycling efforts and minimize environmental harm. Subsidies support battery development and installation. Guidelines improve battery design and material recovery, addressing resource scarcity and boosting national security for a sustainable supply chain.
The EU Battery Regulation marks a transformative shift toward sustainability and transparency in the battery industry, impacting every stage of the battery lifecycle. From new design and production standards to stringent
Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of rechargeable battery and are used in a wide range of electrical devices worldwide. The Lithium-ion Battery Safety Bill would provide for regulations concerning the safe storage, use and disposal of such batteries in the UK. The bill is a private member''s bill sponsored by Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat). The
We make three claims: first that the EU''s battery regulations represent a partial "hardening" of transnational supply chain governance that allows companies to undertake their own due diligence by outsourcing reporting and verification obligations to third-party auditors; second that the regulations prioritize issues that reflect EU
circularity of batteries to accompany the transition to electro-mobility. Furthermore, the Council called for an urgent revision of Directive 2006/66/EC, which should include all relevant battery materials and which should consider, in particular, specific requirements for lithium and cobalt as well as a mechanism allowing the
Many new regulations focused on the EV market and lithium-ion batteries are coming into force. EV supply chain participants will be obliged to track and trace batteries and ensure they recycle and reuse critical materials, while at the same time keeping them within the country. Regulations and their requirements differ by region.

To that end, starting from 2025, the Regulation will gradually introduce declaration requirements, performance classes and maximum limits on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, light means of transport (such as e-bikes and scooters) and rechargeable industrial batteries.
For electric vehicle batteries, LMT batteries, and rechargeable industrial batteries exceeding 2 kWh capacity, carbon footprint compliance involves the following steps (implementation dates vary by battery type),

You can bring certain types of lithium battery chargers in your carry-on luggage, provided they meet specific size and watt-hour limitations set by transportation authorities. Allowed types of lithium battery chargers: – Chargers for devices with lithium-ion batteries – Chargers for lithium polymer batteries – Portable power banks
The EU is lowering environmental standards for mining lithium and other materials for the energy transition, but the Western Balkans and other third countries are set to take an even heavier burden. Search
The chambers of commerce of Serbia and Kosovo* used the occasion to vow to help the development of the Western Balkans in the economic, social and political sphere and announced a joint group would support plans for a power plant in the region that would install an energy storage facility.
Rechargeable battery types include lead -acid, lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and nickel-cadmium batteries. In 2018, lead -acid batteries (LABs) provided approximately 72 % of global rechargeable battery capacity (in gigawatt hours). LABs are used mainly in automotive applications (around 65 % of global

Like common rechargeable batteries, very large batteries can store electricity until it is needed. These systems use lithium ion, lead acid, lithium iron or other battery technologies. Stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become a crucial solution to the effective integration of renewable energy sources into the power system
In recent months, the European lithium-ion working group has worked hard to finalize the new VDMA 24994 paper. This document outlines the requirements a battery safe must meet to safely store and charge lithium-ion batteries. The new regulations are expected to be published next spring..

Key Features of the New Policy . The new lithium-ion battery recycling policy of the Indian government intends to provide a thorough structure for gathering, transporting, and recycling these batteries. Let us get an insight of the key features of the policy: 1. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
Like common rechargeable batteries, very large batteries can store electricity until it is needed. These systems use lithium ion, lead acid, lithium iron or other battery technologies. Stationary

The government of Kosovo will build a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 200MWh-plus to deal with the energy crisis.
Since 2006, batteries and waste batteries have been regulated at EU level under the Batteries Directive. The Commission proposed to revise this Directive in December 2020 due to new socioeconomic conditions, technological developments, markets, and battery uses. Demand for batteries is increasing rapidly.
The EU is lowering environmental standards for mining lithium and other materials for the energy transition, but the Western Balkans and other third countries are set to take an even heavier burden.
Although the EU battery regulations are relatively quiet on trade and investment, they are part of a broader geopolitical environment that has become increasingly concerned about the security of energy and critical mineral supply chains (Petitjean and Verheecke, 2023; Riofrancos, 2023; Torjesen, 2024).
The new law will ensure that batteries are collected, reused and recycled in Europe and will support the shift to a circular economy.
In line with the circularity ambitions of the European Green Deal, the Batteries Regulation is the first piece of European legislation taking a full life-cycle approach in which sourcing, manufacturing, use and recycling are addressed and enshrined in a single law.
