In the United Kingdom (UK) batteries and accumulators are regulated to help protect the environment through the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009 (as amended) – the underpinning legislation: An automotive battery is of any size or weight and used for one of the following:
The Regulations set out requirements for waste battery collection, treatment, recycling and disposal for all battery types including arrangements by which the UK intends to meet portable battery collection targets of 25% by 2012 and 45% by 2016.
It’s illegal to send waste industrial or vehicle and other automotive batteries for incineration or to landfill. You’re a battery producer if you have a UK business presence and you’re the first person in your selling chain (including importers) to make batteries available for supply or sale on the UK market. Battery producers must:
Who is affected? The main groups who will be affected by the regulations are people who place batteries or equipment containing batteries on the market in the UK. The requirements may differ depending upon whether the batteries in question are automotive, industrial or portable.
The specific obligations in relation to waste batteries depend on their type, but all require registration with the appropriate environmental regulator via the National Packaging Waste Database.
The EU is fully committed to sustainability and circularity with new regulations. In July, a new regulation was established, imposing new rules for batteries. Below is a brief summary of that regulation. One of the consequences is that Nickel Cadmium batteries (NiCd) will be banned in portable applications from August 2025.

Swedish lithium-ion battery manufacturer Northvolt has announced plans to invest several billion euros in building a gigafactory in Germany.

Battery production is ramping up worldwide. Battery manufacturers are scaling up capacity to meet growing demand in energy storage, electric vehicle charging, and data center power applications. Recent developments include two gigafactories in the U.S. and Europe, a cobalt sulfate refinery in Canada, and a battery innovation center.
By establishing local gigafactories, automakers, and battery manufacturers can reduce supply chain dependencies, ensure a stable and timely supply of batteries, and potentially benefit from government incentives and regulations that promote domestic battery production.

Battery manufacturing, as well as related upstream and downstream activities, is energy intensive and necessitates large power connections.
General Motors is planning to establish four new battery factories in the United States, with a total capacity of 140 GWh per year. Additionally, Stellantis, the multinational automotive conglomerate, is in the process of building a new factory in Indiana, with an initial annual production capacity of 23 GWh.
As the demand for batteries continues to rise, numerous facilities are being established not only by car manufacturers but also by battery manufacturers and global technology companies, some of which are not solely focused on the electric vehicle market.
