Navigating EPR Laws: EPR Properties and Cirba Solutions in Battery Management

Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Battery Extended Producer Responsibility Laws

As of August 6, 2025, nine states have enacted Battery Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, significantly impacting companies within the battery supply chain. These regulations introduce complex requirements for compliance, reporting, and sustainable end-of-life (EOL) management of batteries, which are integral components in various products, from electronics to electric vehicles. The growing urgency for adherence to these regulations highlights the need for comprehensive solutions that streamline the management of battery waste and ensure compliance with state-specific mandates.
