6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Technical Specifications for Storage and Transportation of Waste Batteries”

What are the applicable waste management measures for Li-ion batteries?

The applicable measures will be dependent on the scale and nature of waste management activities at the site, quantities and types of waste handled and the prevalence of Li-ion batteries, either as acceptable waste (for those facilities licensed or permitted to accept waste batteries) or non-conforming waste.

What is the proper management of waste batteries?

This guideline provides general information on the proper management of waste batteries. Waste batteries are a contaminant under the Environmental Protection Act(EPA) of the NWT and must be managed as a hazardous waste. Storage batteries are a source of direct electric current produced by reaction of the chemicals in the battery.

What are the new EU regulations on batteries & waste batteries?

36 Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning batteries and waste batteries, amending Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing Directive 2006/66/EC. Targets for recycling eficiency, material recovery and recycled content will be introduced from 2025 onwards.

How should waste batteries be stored?

Train personnel in the safe use, storage and shipping procedures for waste batteries. Only trained persons should have access to the storage area. Temporary storage of waste batteries is only acceptable as an interim measure to permit time for the collection of sufficient volumes for cost effective transport to a recycler or disposal facility.

Can Li-ion batteries be stored in Waste Electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)?

Li-ion batteries may arise within waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), however, this guidance is focused on the safe storage of Li-ion batteries at waste handling facilities and is not intended to address the wider measures required for the safe management of WEEE.

Which batteries are a reportable priority waste?

ve waste duties2 as they apply to your activities. Lead-acid batteries (waste code D220) and nickel-cadmium batteries (waste c e D150) are classified as reportable priority waste.For businesses handling small quantities of lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries please see EPA's website for up to date information on EPA's e
