We, the undersigned European associations representing our members in the battery, their raw materials, battery recyclers and electromobility ecosystems, are calling on the legislators to address current barriers to the swift shipment of end-of-life Lithium-ion batteries and their intermediate waste streams, i.e black mass, under the last stages of trilogue negotiations for the EU Waste Shipment Regulation.

AVERE, the European Association for Electromobility, takes note of the French government’s proposal to modify the ecological bonus for new electric passenger cars on achievement of a minimum environmental score (“bonus écologique pour les voitures particulières neuves électriques à l’atteinte d'un score environnemental minimal”) but is concerned that such a proposal could create incoherency with EU legislations and slow down the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
