Increase in lithium batteries: how we help companies to manage takeback

As the demand for lithium batteries skyrockets in markets worldwide, ensuring their safe disposal becomes paramount. The European Commission forecasts a staggering 1,400% increase in demand for refined lithium from 2020 to 2030.

Against this backdrop, H2 Compliance’s Circular Economy Engineering Team has introduced a complete solution for managing end-of-life lithium batteries.

We offer:

  • Domestic and cross-border transportation in full compliance with national/international regulations

Drawing on its extensive expertise in managing e-waste, the H2 Compliance team recognised the growing urgency for safe battery management, which is crucial for mitigating risks of accidents and environmental pollution. It also maximises the recovery of precious resources and ensures regulatory compliance. EU regulations were updated last year and will introduce new obligations in the coming years.
