With the advent of electronic vehicles and the rising use of electric batteries, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has issued a notification launching “Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022”. These rules replaced the Batteries (Management and Handling) Rules, 2001. The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 broadly lays down as to what should be included in waste batteries. Producers, recyclers as well as refurbishers need to ensure that they adhere to all the EPR compliances for battery waste.
