Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/606 published setting methodology to calculate/verify recycling efficiency and material recovery from waste batteries

The European Commission published Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/606 under the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The delegated act establishes harmonised methodologies for calculating and verifying (1) recycling efficiency and (2) material recovery from waste batteries, and provides a harmonised format for documentation to be supplied by recyclers to Member State competent authorities. This is directly relevant to battery recyclers and producer responsibility schemes because it standardises evidence and calculation approaches used to demonstrate performance against Battery Regulation requirements.
