we examine the impact of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) on the export of waste batteries (WB). EPR is considered as a key policy for the “marketization of waste”.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) was initially defined in a report to the Swedish Ministry of Environment by Lindhqvist as “an environmental protection strategy to reach an environmental objective of a decreased total environmental impact from a product, by making the manufacturer of the product responsible for the entire life-cycle of the product and
The regulation introduces extended producer responsibility (EPR), requiring battery manufacturers to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, including end-of-life management. Waste collection responsibility: Under EPR, manufacturers must finance and manage battery waste collection systems free of charge to consumers.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a legislative strategy that holds manufacturers responsible for managing the life cycle of their products, from cradle to grave, and in the case of high-yield battery recycling & reuse,

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies are vital for improving environmental protection. This study analyses EPR-driven interventions'' impact on CLSCs efficiency for EV batteries. Objectives include: (1) Assessing current operational challenges and recovery efficiency in EV battery recycling.
Representing industry interests in passage of the federal Mercury Containing and Rechargeable Battery Act and numerous state “product stewardship” statutes governing recycling of rechargeable consumer batteries and products. Establishing successful industry-sponsored spent-battery and electronic waste management programs across the nation.
In 2020, the newly amended Law of the People''s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution Environment for the first time included the extension of the responsibility system of producers of
At its core, Extended Producer Responsibility aims to extend the responsibility of producers beyond the factory gate. The objectives are multifaceted: reducing environmental impact, minimising waste and resource consumption, and shifting the economic burden of recycling from the public sector to the private sector.

Second-life use of batteries (e.g., for storage) raises questions about responsibility. Second-life batteries would also be in direct competition with new storage batteries, which could limit reuse rates. 3. Hazardous materials: Batteries are hazardous materials that must be handled safely, which requires special training.
Extended Producer Responsibility is a policy approach that places the responsibility for managing waste & recycling on product manufacturers. from their production and use to their end-of-life disposition. By promoting recycling
responsibility is extended to the post-consumer stage of a pro duct''s lifecycle (OECD, 2001; 2016). This definition is very broad, but in pract ice EPR entails that producers 1 assume financial

This law is implemented by several regulations, some of which introduce the principle of extended producer responsibility (EPR) for the management of end-of-life products, especially plastics.

3.1 The Japanese Legal Framework for Automotive Recycling. In Japan, the End-of-Life Vehicles Recycling Law, based on EPR concepts, came into effect in January 2005. The direct cause for the enactment of this law was the collapse of the existing end-of-life vehicle recycling system due to reversed charging for end-of-life vehicle disposal (Asaki 2004).
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law requires the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a national EPR framework for batteries that addresses battery recycling goals, cost structures for mandatory recycling, reporting requirements, product design,
This article suggests that current regulatory mechanisms for end-of-life battery management (primarily enshrined in the 2006 Batteries Directive (2006/66/EC), 7 which operates in conjunction with the 2000 ELV Directive (2000/53/EC) 8 fail to provide a sufficiently robust extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework to facilitate a circular economy for EV
In the closed-loop power batteries recycling system, EVMs bear the responsibility of recycling used electric vehicle batteries to comply with extended producer responsibility obligations. BMs produce batteries, improve battery utilization efficiency, and supply them to EVMs for integration into electric vehicle production, subsequently selling

In the closed-loop power batteries recycling system, EVMs bear the responsibility of recycling used electric vehicle batteries to comply with extended producer responsibility
Specifically, battery producers have a responsibility to finance the collection, recovery, treatment and management of waste batteries. They also must comply with registration and reporting requirements. They can enlist a producer responsibility organisation to help them with these obligations.
3.1. Problem description In the closed-loop power batteries recycling system, EVMs bear the responsibility of recycling used electric vehicle batteries to comply with extended producer responsibility obligations.
A battery producer is defined by the regulation as an importer, manufacturer, distributor, or other legal person that either: a. Is established in the EU, and manufactures batteries in the EU under its own name b. Is established in the EU, and has batteries manufactured under its own name to sell them in the EU c.
A producer responsibility organisation is a company that can help producers fulfil their extended producer responsibility obligations. Specifically, battery producers have a responsibility to finance the collection, recovery, treatment and management of waste batteries. They also must comply with registration and reporting requirements.
Article 59 explains that producers, or their appointed producer responsibility organisation, should bear responsibility for collecting waste batteries in the state where those batteries were sold. They should generally set up a collection system, collect the waste batteries for free, and have a waste management operator treat the waste batteries.
They have a battery management platform for member producers to request collection, as well as a treatment centre. They have three main channels – domestic, professional, and industrial – through which batteries can be collected, stored, and treated before returning to the battery production process, thereby aiding the circular economy.
