How Cirba Solutions Can Help Businesses Face Battery EPR Laws
As new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for batteries sweep across the United States, companies throughout the battery supply chain are facing complex challenges in navigating compliance requirements, reporting obligations and sustainable end-of-life (EOL) battery management.
According to battery recycler Cirba Solutions, they can help guide companies through this regulatory landscape and provide sustainable solutions.
Batteries are found almost everywhere – in data storage systems, electronics, vehicles, e-mobility, power tools, toys, etc. Battery EPR regulations vary by state and format, covering small, medium or large formats, and in some instances by specific chemistries. In certain cases, the regulations provide exceptions to certain types of usage formats, such as embedded batteries or those used for non-consumer medical devices.
According to the company’s press release, Cirba Solutions can offer an end-to-end approach for customers and manage all battery chemistries for the company’s customers.
