Portable Power Energy
The European Portable Battery Association (EPBA) is the leading organisation representing the interests of primary and rechargeable portable battery manufacturers, those industries using portable batteries in their products and distributors of portable batteries active within the European Union, and beyond.
In the framework of the discussions on the Commission’s proposal on batteries and waste batteries, EPBA, EPTA, ERP, EUCOBAT and RECHARGE highlight a great concern with the introduction of deposit refund schemes.
The recently published medical algorithm for button battery ingestion developed by the ESPGHAN Button Battery Task Force provides clinicians with a step-by-step guide for management of acute ingestion cases.
The undersigned organisations support the European Commission’s objective to improve the sustainability of batteries, while protecting the competitiveness of the Single Market. We are fully committed to supporting the EU’s transition towards sustainable batteries.
