Phasing out primary batteries will go against Green Deal
18/09/2020
+ Read morePrimary batteries are an indispensable part of our daily lives and can last years, especially in devices with a low energy demand. That’s why they should not be considered as single-use products. In addition, primary batteries have a better eco-balance versus rechargeables in low-drain devices. The European Commission is currently reviewing the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC […]
Where’s your lithium from? EU’s New Green Deal to track critical materials
