Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that Defra, as part of their upcoming review, develop regulations that support authorised reuse, creating equivalence with similar EU provisions and clarify when a battery is a “product” and when it is classified as “waste”, including stipulating who bears responsibility at each stage to ensure that batteries are covered by appropriate regulations at each stage of the battery’s life.
