The new Battery Regulation (BattVO) planned for 1.1.2022, which will apply directly to all EU member states, is still in the voting process, probably in the first half of 2022. The major goal of the new BattVO is: more resource conservation, less environmental impact, more recycling, higher minimum collection rate. Other points of discussion include minimum durability requirements, transparent supply chain, no fixed installation in electrical devices, multiple use of batteries.

Thus, the BattG2 Act on the placing on the market, return and environment-friendly disposal of batteries and accumulators (Battery Act 2), which came into force on 1.1.2021, still remains valid. This amendment to the Battery Act (BattG) aims to ensure a comprehensive take-back and high-quality recycling of the valuable raw materials contained in batteries.

Until the new BattVO comes into force, the FBDi Association recommends that those concerned keep an eye on their existing obligations.
