The EU Battery Regulation significantly reforms producer responsibility systems for batteries. At the Battery Regulation Seminar held in August 2025 at Heureka Science Center in Vantaa, participants learned about the regulation\u2019s impacts on the operations of producer organisations: distributors\u2019 obligation to take back batteries as well as stricter efficiency and recovery requirements will change future collection and recycling. Recser Oy is building an entirely new collection system for large industrial batteries in cooperation with Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb Oy. Meanwhile, Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys Oy is preparing both for these changes and for the growing number of electric vehicles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Battery Regulation changes the way we all work, our objectives, but at the same time, there are many elements that will remain much the same,\u201d says Johanna Alakerttula<\/strong>, Managing Director of Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb Oy.<\/p>\n

Producer organisations for batteries help their members understand the changes the regulation brings to producer responsibility and fulfill their new, up-to-date obligations.<\/p>\n

\u201cA single producer cannot realistically \u2013 and frankly should not \u2013 handle the obligations alone,\u201d says Liisa-Marie Stenb\u00e4ck<\/strong>, Managing Director of Recser Oy.<\/p>\n

With the Battery Regulation, more and more companies are regarded as producers in the eyes of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Battery Regulation has now broadened the definition of a producer to mean anyone who \u2018places a product on the market in Finland for the first time.\u2019 Therefore, distributors of products may also be regarded as producers and thus subject to producer responsibility,\u201d Stenb\u00e4ck explains.<\/p>\n

Distributors\u2019 take-back obligation and stricter requirements reform producer organisations<\/h2>\n

The take-back obligation for distributors is one of the changes introduced by the Battery Regulation, and it affects all three producer organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the future, all distributors must take back the types of batteries they sell \u2013 which means the collection system will gain a large number of new points,\u201d says Recser\u2019s Stenb\u00e4ck.<\/p>\n

Producer organisations\u2019 collection networks will therefore grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you sell electric cars, you are also obliged to take them back. Our collection network is already quite broad, and we are now considering what it will look like in a practical sense. We are planning a new system and digitalising it,\u201d says Juha Kenraali<\/strong>, Managing Director of Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys Oy.<\/p>\n

According to Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb\u2019s Alakerttula, many lead battery distributors have in practice already been taking back batteries for a long time. However, the expanded take-back obligation will particularly change practices for smaller companies.<\/p>\n

More detailed guidance on the take-back obligation will be provided later by the Ministry of the Environment.<\/p>\n

Lithium-ion batteries as Europe\u2019s challenge: stricter recycling efficiency and recovery requirements call for action<\/h2>\n

The Battery Regulation strengthens recycling through efficiency requirements and material recovery targets, which will gradually increase until 2031. These changes affect all three producer organisations, albeit in slightly different ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlkaline batteries and high-cobalt lithium-ion batteries in smart devices are already recycled quite efficiently,\u201d says Stenb\u00e4ck.<\/p>\n

But not all battery types yet have established recycling processes in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor light electric vehicle batteries and other low-cobalt lithium-ion batteries, efficient recycling channels have not yet emerged, as waste streams remain small due to long lifetimes. The biggest challenges relate to batteries with varying chemistries and raw material contents that are not evident from their markings,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stricter requirements also apply to lead batteries, though the situation is different in their case.<\/p>\n

\u201cA significant share of the lead recovered from batteries in recycling facilities is already used again in lead battery manufacturing,\u201d says Alakerttula.<\/p>\n

\u201cLead battery circular economy is already a reality,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Recser Oy: \u201cWe make producer responsibility manageable\u201d<\/h2>\n

Recser Oy, founded in 2008, has operated as a producer organisation for portable batteries and other small batteries under 25 kilograms, excluding lead batteries. It is a producer-founded and producer-owned organisation with more than 1,200 members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect the number of foreign distance sellers to grow significantly in the coming years, though the majority of registered members are currently domestic importers,\u201d says Managing Director Liisa-Marie Stenb\u00e4ck.<\/p>\n

Recser\u2019s collection network is extensive relative to population: there are about 7,000 collection points. Last year, around 2,000 tonnes of batteries were collected through the network, about half of which were recycled as secondary raw materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat met the current collection target of 45%, but requirements will tighten significantly in the future,\u201d says Stenb\u00e4ck.<\/p>\n

Battery Regulation changes are already expanding Recser<\/h3>\n

The most significant change for Recser under the Battery Regulation is the expansion of its operations to also cover large industrial batteries over 25 kilograms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest change relates to large industrial batteries. They will be subject to collective responsibility, meaning we must take back all batteries in this category, regardless of who placed them on the market or their chemistry,\u201d Stenb\u00e4ck explains.<\/p>\n

To address this change, Recser and Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb will jointly build a new collective system for large industrial batteries. This nationwide network will receive all types of industrial batteries and forward them to recycling.<\/p>\n

Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb Oy: lead batteries responsibly recycled<\/h2>\n

Founded in 2008, Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb Oy is a producer organisation for automotive and industrial lead batteries. Like other producer organisations, it was established by producers and is owned by four companies that import batteries.<\/p>\n

\u201cLead batteries have been mainstream for a very long time. We have over 400 members, ranging from importers of lead batteries to those importing vehicles and machines containing them,\u201d says Managing Director Johanna Alakerttula.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb\u2019s nationwide lead battery collection network has more than 400 collection points, including waste facilities and auto service companies. For transport and recycling, Akkukierr\u00e4tys cooperates with ten different operators.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 20,000 tonnes are collected annually. That\u2019s a significant amount and has remained stable year after year,\u201d Alakerttula says.<\/p>\n

Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys Oy: \u201cOur principle is to handle all producer responsibility obligations on behalf of producers and disturb them as little as possible\u201d<\/h2>\n

Founded in 2001, Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys Oy was established by Autontuojat ry, the Finnish Car Importers\u2019 Association, whose members are importers. Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys operates under one umbrella with separate producer organisations for end-of-life vehicles and for traction batteries in electric cars. Its nationwide collection network has about 700 collection points. The batteries recycled from electric cars are primarily lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are not yet very many electric cars in traffic, so only a small number are currently reaching recycling. However, this will grow significantly in the future,\u201d says Managing Director Juha Kenraali.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The annual collection volume is about 500 tonnes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn tonnes, that\u2019s already a significant amount, but compared to the potential, it\u2019s still small. That 500 tonnes will increase ten- to twenty-fold in the next 5\u201310 years,\u201d Kenraali says.<\/p>\n

Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys is already preparing for the introduction of battery passports under the Battery Regulation. These passports will include information on each recyclable battery, which will facilitate reporting on behalf of producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have prepared for the battery passport by creating an interface in our new system, which will be able to provide information for possible future passports. The plan is to have the system ready at the beginning of next year,\u201d Kenraali explains.<\/p>\n

Producer responsibility for batteries<\/h2>\n

Producer responsibility refers to a company\u2019s legal obligation to arrange waste management and recycling for its products at the end of their lifecycle. This obligation applies to companies acting as producers \u2013 that is, as manufacturers, importers, distributors, or distance sellers.<\/p>\n

In Finland, companies meet their producer responsibility obligations by joining a producer organisation for their product group. The producer organisations for batteries in Finland are Akkukierr\u00e4tys Pb Oy, Recser Oy, Suomen Autokierr\u00e4tys Oy, and ERP Finland ry.<\/p>\n

The producer organisation assumes responsibility for the practical arrangements of collection, transport, and recycling of the products placed on the Finnish market once they become waste.<\/p>\n
