Abstract

As directed by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, EPA is developing best practices with respect to the collection of batteries to be recycled, as well as establishing a program to promote battery recycling through the development of voluntary labeling guidelines for batteries and communication materials for battery producers and consumers. To aid in the implementation of these directives, the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requests information on the end-of-life (EOL) management of batteries, including information on their collection, recycling, reuse, as well as the current labeling standards/requirements for batteries regarding their EOL. This includes lithium based, nickel-metal hydride, and other battery chemistries as well as all battery types, such as small consumer batteries and large format vehicle batteries (including electric). ORCR is also seeking information about how consumers are educated on how to manage their batteries at the EOL. Information from a wide range of stakeholders involved in the battery reuse and recycling system from the collection and sorting to the reuse and recycling is encouraged, including but not limited to industry, researchers, academia, state, tribal, and local governments, including U.S. territories and the District of Columbia, other federal agencies, community groups, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations.
