Technical FAQs 4

What is the new hazardous waste code for lithium-based batteries?

To contribute to the safe and effective management of waste lithium-based batteries, a new specific hazardous waste code for lithium-based batteries is introduced in sub-chapter 20 01 of the waste list, covering separately collected fractions of municipal waste.

Can waste batteries be collected under universal waste standards?

Waste batteries that are classified as hazardous waste can be collected under the streamlined collection standards for universal waste. These universal waste standards were created to make it easier to collect and recycle (or properly treat and dispose of) waste batteries.

What are batteries & waste batteries?

Batteries are one of the key enablers for sustainable development, green mobility, clean energy and climate neutrality. The Regulation on Batteries and Waste Batteries 1 (“the Regulation”) introduces a harmonised regulatory framework for dealing with the entire life cycle of batteries placed on the EU market.

Can batteries be integrated into a waste management system?

There is also potential to expand the policy and regulatory framework to integrate the existing waste management system, encompassing a diverse range of batteries, including lead-acid batteries, LIBs, and other power batteries.
