At EBRA, we follow the development of legislation related to batteries, so to be able to support our members with its compliance and implementation. But we do much more than that: we defend the interests of recyclers when new legislation is being developed.
Policy focus
EBRA, as an association defending the interests of battery recyclers, is active in steering and lobbying for policies to be reasonable, equitable, and achievable by all the stakeholders involved. Therefore, part of out job is to focus on policy developments.

Recycling batteries
Recycling batteries is a crucial activity if we want Europe to be competitive in the global market, and if we want to achieve sustainability goals. EBRA defends the interests of all its members, who have different processes for recycling batteries. Here you can find out more on how batteries are recycled.
Recycled materials from batteries
When a battery is recycled, valuable components and materials are obtained. This includes Li, Co, Ni, Cu, etc. These elements are fundamental in our economy. For this reason they are subject to a lot of attention.
