Waste code number for lithium batteries
There is a long discussion on whether a waste code number needs to be used for lithium batteries especially with the aspect of whether it is dangerous waste or not.
The Bavarian State Ministry for Environment and Consumer Protection ("bayerischen Staatsministeriums für
Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz“) has published a statement to this regard. We have attached this in German to our newsletter.
In it the classification as dangerous waste is now made mandatory. This regulation is for Bavaria only but a federal
adaption is to be expected and some other federal German states have made this classification already.
