As battery extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws gain momentum across the US, companies are putting pressure on them to adapt to a complex, rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
In recent years, battery EPR regulations have skyrocketed nationwide, with nine states and the District of Columbia enacting laws aimed at holding producers accountable for the lifecycle of battery products.
These laws require manufacturers to be responsible for not only production but also collection, recycling and reporting battery waste.
In many more states considering similar policies, businesses within the battery supply chain are currently facing the urgent need for a comprehensive compliance strategy.
