Response to Targeted amendment of the European List of Waste as regards waste batteries and wastes from their treatment

7 Nov 2024

The classification of black mass should be based on its chemistries; black mass from LFP batteries should be considered as non-hazardous. intermediate fraction from the thermal/mechanical treatment of waste lithium-based batteries and lithium-based battery manufacturing waste containing a mixture of electrode materials Currently, all black mass from lithium-based battery is classified as hazardous. However, black mass from LFP batteries do not have the hazardous substances that are present in the NCM batteries. In addition, recyclers can differentiate and track the source of black mass under different chemistries using battery passport in the future. Therefore, black mass from LFP batteries should be considered as non-hazardous. Solid salts and solutions are produced for the purpose of making precursor, and should classified as product. Solid salts and solutions are essential precursor materials, which serve as the preliminary components needed to make cells. Its current standing already meets the criteria for end-of-waste status, as mentioned in the Waste Framework Directive. Therefore, we do believe that solid salts and solutions should not be classified as waste.
