Another redesign on the cards for iPhone as EU rules call for removable batteries
The new rules approved by European Parliament last week also include a requirement for a"digital battery passport" for industrial batteries with a capacity above 2kWh and EV batteries; a due diligence policy for all economic operators, except for small and medium biz; and much stricter waste collection targets for portable batteries, ramping up to 73 percent by 2030. They'll also set minimum levels of recycled content from manufacturing and consumer waste for use in new batteries.
Eight years after the regulations have come into force, the bloc expects 16 percent for cobalt, 85 percent for lead, 6 percent for lithium and 6 percent for nickel, with the targets rising after five years have elapsed.Three and a half years after the legislation has become law, portable batteries in appliances must be designed so that consumers can easily remove and replace them themselves – with the best guess that this means around 2027 for the rules to come into action.
