Summary
The European Battery Regulation (EU Battery Regulation), which came into effect in August 2023, is a stringent regulation that requires manufacturers to meet sustainability requirements across the entire lifecycle—from raw material procurement to product disposal and recycling (End of Life) - for all types of batteries (portable, industrial, EV) sold within the European region. Manufacturers are required to report to the European Commission the following information regarding battery products marketed in Europe: the Carbon Footprint of Product (CFP), which is an assessment of CO2 emissions throughout the entire lifecycle; the rate of recycled material use; and human rights and environmental due diligence information regarding the active materials. Batteries used in battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid vehicles (HEVs) sold in Europe are also subject to these regulations.
This report is based on information from K&ESG Inc. (local source reference), a MarkLines partner company.
K&ESG is a consulting firm that provides comprehensive support for companies' ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, from compliance with international environmental regulations such as the European Battery Regulation and CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), to supply chain emissions calculations, CFP/LCA (Carbon Footprint of Product / Life Cycle Assessment) implementation, and human rights due diligence. Their strength lies in providing practical support that goes beyond mere regulatory compliance, translating solutions into actionable steps that can be implemented on the ground.
