动力电池回收迎强监管：报废应“车电一体”，取消梯次利用

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with five other departments, has issued the "Interim Measures for the Recycling and Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Power Batteries from New Energy Vehicles," which will take effect on April 1, 2026. This regulation aims to enhance the legal framework for managing waste batteries and curb illegal dismantling practices [1][5]. Group 1: Key Features of the Management Measures - The "vehicle-battery integrated scrapping" system is a significant design of the measures, mandating that scrapped new energy vehicles must include their power batteries; otherwise, they will be considered as lacking essential components [2][6]. - The measures will replace the previously used concept of "cascade utilization" with stricter regulations, prohibiting any organization or individual from using waste power batteries directly or after processing in prohibited fields, such as electric bicycles [2][11]. - The measures emphasize a "full-channel, full-chain, and full-lifecycle" management approach, ensuring that all aspects of battery production, scrapping, and recycling are regulated [6][7]. Group 2: Industry Impact and Future Projections - The volume of waste power batteries is expected to exceed 1 million tons by 2030, indicating a significant increase in the need for effective recycling and management solutions [4]. - The measures will enhance the traceability of waste batteries through a national information platform and a digital identity system for each battery, allowing for comprehensive monitoring throughout its lifecycle [9][10]. - The new regulations will also impose stricter conditions for enterprises involved in the comprehensive utilization of waste batteries, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards [10].
