Introduction

The dependence on batteries in India is rapidly accelerating due to electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage systems. While this is excellent news for innovation, it has created a genuine issue related to battery waste management. Once batteries have served their purpose they could include hazardous materials (lead, mercury, and lithium) that could damage the environment if disposed of inadequately.

In recognition of this, the government has introduced the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, making Battery Waste Compliance and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance compulsory for all producers, importers, and brand owners. The regulatory framework provided requires producers to arrange for the collection, recycling, and proper disposal for batteries to mitigate risk and also advance a circular economy.

For businesses, compliance has transitioned from being an option to now something directly tied to legal approval, trust from consumers, and sustainability. As such, producers and businesses that are compliant with the regulations are no longer avoiding punishment, they are positioning themselves as environmentally responsible brands.

What is Battery Waste Compliance?

Battery Waste Compliance means compliance with the law to collect, recycle and dispose of used batteries. This has two objectives:

  • Environmental Protection: To prevent hazardous materials (lead, mercury and cadmium) from leaking into the soil and water.
  • Circular Economy: To facilitate recycling to recover valuable metals (lithium, cobalt and nickel).

In India, this is governed by the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).

EPR and battery waste management

This very important regulation on EPR registration for battery waste management is mandated for all producers and encourages the recycling and safe disposal of batteries, making them liable for the entire battery lifecycle. It is expected to drive optimally designed batteries for easy recycling and efficient infrastructure. Ultimately, it aims to reduce damage to the environment through battery waste.

Batteries for diverse electronic appliances have been experiencing an exponential increase in market demand over the past few years, and so has the generation of battery waste. Batteries become a serious environmental hazard and health risks when they are not disposed of correctly and enter into the wrong hands.

Even lesser quantities of these batteries would challenge the human body with skin irritation, respiratory problems, renal illnesses, and, very rarely, even death due to extreme toxicity.

Battery Waste Compliance

Why Battery Waste Management Matters?

Increasing Battery Demand – With the boost in electric vehicles, solar storage resurgence, and electronics, India’s battery waste will likely exceed 2 million tonnes by 2030.

Hazardous Consequences – Lead-acid batteries give off lead dust, and lithium-ion batteries can combust when left in landfills.

Regulatory Risk – Risks, such as large fines, loss of license to operate, and reputational harm to your brand, can occur if companies are not in compliance.

Global Standards – Companies, including Apple and Panasonic, currently have established take-back programs. India is expected to change its practices to the global standard of take-back programs.

“The choice to be in compliance is not only compliance; it is a valuable and strategic decision. Companies that pursue and practice sustainable recycling will be positioned better with their investors and regulators and less risk with their consumers.”

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Battery Waste

EPR serves as the underpinning of battery waste compliance. The concept is that the battery producer – either a manufacturer, importer, or brand owner – will assume responsibility for the energy storage device’s end-of-life.

Key EPR Responsibilities:

  • CPCB Inventory: The first obligation is to register with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) inventory prior to engaging in the sale or import.
  • Collection Fees or Targets: Achieve elements of a collection fee concept, or targets, related to recycling – minimum collection, recycling, or reuse targets set by the government.
  • Batteries Recycling Agreement: Agreement(s) with approved recyclers (be it contract based or a form of net recycling).
  • Annual Returns or Reporting with CPCB: Returns that verify collection, recycling, and/or reuse achieved.

In terms of obligations that Ola Electric and Ather Energy may be tasked with, they would need to achieve the annual minimum recovery targets for the lithium-ion batteries in their scooters. It would become existentially significant for the company by influencing appreciable government grants and consumer trust.

Types of Batteries Covered under Compliance

The Battery Waste Management Rules cover all categories:

  1. Portable Batteries – Phones, laptops, toys.

  2. Automotive Batteries – Cars, trucks, two-wheelers.

  3. Industrial Batteries – Telecom towers, UPS, solar storage.

  4. EV Batteries – Lithium-ion packs in electric vehicles.

Each type requires separate EPR targets and documentation.

Urgent need for battery waste management

  • Digital growth in battery usageThe ever-increasing consumption of electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems has led to an unprecedented demand for batteries-a parallel surge in the generation of battery waste. Global battery demand estimated at 933 GWh in 2021 is projected to jump to an astounding 5,100 GWh by 2030, thereby underscoring the increasing magnitude of this very challenge.
  • Dangers of Informal Recycling-It is reported that more than 90% of used Lead Acid Batteries are currently recycled informally. Such operations are unregulated and cause huge leads to pollution as guidelines are not followed in accordance with environmental standards..
  • Protecting the Environment –These may include lead-acid, cadmium, mercury, or lithium batteries. Improperly disposing of batteries contaminates the soil and water resources by leaching harmful substances into the environment.
  • Protecting human healthThe wrong representation and removal of fertilizers are likely to put human lives at risk by exposing them to poisonous chemical agents that will result in very serious effects on health such as neurological impairment, respiratory distress, kidney failure, and reproductive disorders. Hence proper waste management is fundamental to human health.

Benefits of Obtaining Battery Waste Management Certification

  • Legal compliance and avoidance of penalties
  • Enhanced brand reputation and consumer trust
  • Access to markets and business opportunities
  • Improve waste management practices
  • Contribution to Environmental Protection
  • Competitive advantage

Checklist of documents for battery waste Management certification

Battery Waste Compliance registration process

  • Document Preparation: The Diligence Team collects all possible information and documents that the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) might require in processing an application under Battery Waste Management from the Producer on behalf of it.
  • Application Filing: The Diligence Team completes the application form along with relevant documents and dispatches it by post to the Central Pollution Control Board. A hard copy will also be sent to the Central Pollution Control Board.
  • Application Assessment: The application package in entirety is reviewed comparatively by the CPCB.
  • Registration Approval: Following successful review, an initial registration for six months is issued. Later the registration would be available online in the CPCB portal for another extension for six months and application fees shall be accepted through the centralized online application platform upon registration.

Cost, Timeline, and Validity of Battery Waste Compliance

  • Cost: Depends on company size, battery volume, and collection network. It covers registration, recycler agreements, and reporting.

  • Timeline: Registration with CPCB typically takes 3–4 months, provided documents are in order.

  • Validity: EPR registration is valid for the business year and must be renewed annually.

Companies that delay registration often face difficulties selling on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, which now demand compliance proof.
