Industry Coalitions Urge EU to Boost Battery Recycling Under Circular Economy Act

A coalition of European clean technology and transport organizations is calling on EU policymakers to establish dedicated measures for scaling battery recycling in the upcoming Circular Economy Act. The groups stress that recovering materials from retired electric vehicle packs is vital for securing critical minerals locally and mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities. Without strategic regulatory and financial support, Europe risks falling behind in building the processing capacity needed for an influx of end-of-life batteries.
