The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change in India has issued a notification titled “Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 to promote the safe and eco-friendly processing of waste batteries. These new rules replace the previous “Batteries (Management and Handling) Rules, 2001 and apply to Producers, Manufacturers and Importers engaged in the collection, segregation, transportation, reprocessing and recycling of waste batteries
