battery directive
Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC, commonly known as the Battery Directive, regulates the manufacture and disposal of batteries in the European Union with the aim of "improving the environmental performance of batteries and accumulators".〔European Commission webpage on Batteries (), Last Accessed 19 October 2010〕 Batteries commonly contain hazardous elements such as mercury, cadmium, and lead, which when incinerated or landfilled, present a risk to the environment and human health. Directive 91/157/EEC was adopted on 18 March 1991 to reduce these hazards by harmonizing Member States' laws on the disposal and recycling of batteries containing dangerous substances.〔(Council Directive 91/157/EEC of 18 March 1991 on batteries and accumulators containing certain dangerous substances ) Article 1, Last accessed 18 October 2010〕 Directive 2006/66/EC repealed Directive 91/157/EEC and sets maximum quantities for certain chemicals and metals in certain batteries;〔 tasks Member States with encouraging improvements to the environmental performance of batteries;〔 requires proper waste management of these batteries, including recycling, collections, "take-back" programs, and disposal;〔 sets waste battery collection rates;〔 sets financial responsibility for programs;〔 and makes rules covering most phases of this legislation, including labeling,〔 marking, documentation, reviews,〔 and other administrative and procedural matters.
==General==
This directive, like many other European compliance directives, is not directly applicable, but requires legislative action from European Member States. Though European directives are legislation, European Union Member States must comply with them to avoid legal action that the European Commission can bring to bear if they don't. However Member States retain some freedom by what means they implement a directive's requirements.
The battery directive has the objective of improving the environmental performance of batteries by regulating the use of certain substances in the manufacture of batteries: lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., and setting standards for the waste management of these batteries.〔 Many European member states have passed battery and waste management laws. Among those nations are: Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and others. Finland and Denmark have supported a total prohibition of battery cadmium. Belgium and Sweden have battery recycling rates of 59% and 55%. With the finalization of the 2006 Battery Directive, European states now have specific guidelines to which to make rules to comport.
