06/02/2025The WEEE Forum team actively participated in the preparation of the Industry guidance for collecting, handling, and treating waste lithium batteries.
The scope of this guidance document is to provide examples of good practice for all aspects of the waste lithium battery chain to mitigate risks and assist with the health and safety management of personnel, plant and equipment, in single type battery collection and e-waste treatment streams.
This work builds on studies and research carried out in 2020 and 2021 by the Batteries Roundtable about the growing issue of fires associated with WEEE that contain lithium batteries, to present measures to address the problem.
