Earlier this October, Fedor van der Post from WMC participated in a panel discussion titled “Constant Regulation Enforcements Globally: How Should the Market React?” alongside experts from leading organizations, including RECHARGE – European Association of the Advanced Rechargeable & Lithium Batteries Value Chain, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, SVOLT Energy Technology (Europe) GmbH, Huawei Europe and Eurometaux (European Metals Association). The conversation took place at the 2nd Li-ion Battery Europe event in Brussels. 🌍🔋   The panelists agreed on the need for a more coherent regulatory framework for battery recycling in the EU. Fedor emphasized that while recycling is vital part of the European supply chain, the announced hazardous waste regulations on black mass, including lack of uniformity across member states, may create inefficiencies that could hinder achievement of CRMA minimum recycled content goals. He further noted the EU would greatly benefit from a more comprehensive and binding set of positive and negative incentives to be developed, building onwards from the CRMA, to support EU on-shore critical material refining initiatives in today’s challenging markets, where North American measures could be a source of inspiration.   A special thank you to Li-ION BATTERY EUROPE 2024 for organizing this insightful event and Boris Martor for moderating, and to the fellow panelists for their contributions: Giorgia Epicoco, Ilka von Dalwigk, Kamila Slupek, Lisset Urrutia, and Pau Sanchis Matoses.   #LiIonBattery #BatteryRecycling #EnergyTransition #EURegulations #WMC
