New measures announced to promote sustainability

==> picture [86 x 116] intentionally omitted <==

P O L I C Y

Responsible sourcing. New mandatory procedures to ensure sustainable and ethical sourcing of raw materials such as graphite.

Carbon (CO2) footprint, performance and durability labelling. All batteries sold in Europe must declare their carbon footprint.

E C O G R A F ’ S E S G

  • a EcoGraf™HF free proprietary purification process

  • a Epanko developed under Equator Principles a EcoGraf™recycling

  • a Renewable energy inputs into businesses

  • a Implementing low impact mining methods

==> picture [75 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [80 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Traceability. All raw materials used in batteries to be procured according to OECD recognised guidelines for sustainable sourcing. Thanks to blockchain technology, each battery will have a digital passport tracking all upstream components.

Recycling and establishing a circular economy. A minimum proportion of battery content to be made up of recycled materials. To close the loop and retain valuable materials used in batteries - such as cobalt, lithium, nickel and graphite - for as long as possible, the Commission proposes to establish new requirements and targets on the collection, treatment and recycling of batteries.
