Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, EPA is required to develop voluntary labeling guidelines for batteries and other forms of communication materials for battery producers and consumers about the reuse and recycling of critical materials from batteries.
EPA is developing best practices with respect to the collection of batteries to be recycled, as well as establishing a program to promote battery recycling through the development of voluntary labeling guidelines for batteries and communication materials for battery producers and consumers as...
EPA is interested in both single-use batteries, also known as primary batteries, and rechargeable batteries, also known as secondary batteries.
With this in mind, Section 4 of the Act requires EPA to consult with rechargeable battery manufacturers, rechargeable consumer product manufacturers, and retailers to establish a pub-lic education program on battery recycling and the proper han-dling and disposal of used Ni-Cd and certain SSLA batteries.
Requires EPA to establish a public education program on battery recycling and the proper handling and disposal of used batteries. EPA is required to consult with manufacturers and retailers to carry out this initiative.
Throughout 2024, EPA will host a series of working sessions to inform the development of best practices for state, Tribal, and local governments to collect end-of-life batteries for recycling. As specified in the BIL, the best practices must: Be technically and economically feasible for state, Tribal and local governments.
