Summary
The European Union's new Batteries Regulation has entered into force, establishing comprehensive rules to make batteries more sustainable, circular, and safe. The regulation aims to ensure batteries have low carbon footprints, use minimal harmful substances, require fewer raw materials from non-EU countries, and are collected, reused, and recycled at high rates within Europe. This supports the shift to a circular economy, enhances raw material and energy security, and strengthens the EU's strategic autonomy in line with the European Green Deal's circularity ambitions.
