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
10/09/2020
+ Read moreRenewable electricity generation and storage requires huge quantities of mined raw materials. In Europe, most of these elements are currently imported and unsustainably produced. So the European Commission has hatched a new plan for obtaining them within its borders, to make the industry more sustainable and resilient against outside disruptions. The commission has launched a new industry […]
