Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Certain substances contained in batteries, such as cobalt, lead, lithium or nickel, are acquired from scarce resources which are not easily available in the Union, and some are considered critical raw materials by the Commission. This is an area where Europe needs to enhance its strategic autonomy and increase its resilience in preparation for potential disruptions in supply due to health or other crises. Enhancing circularity and resource efficiency with increased recycling and recovery of those raw materials, will contribute to reaching that goal. Innovations in novel applications using renewable raw materials should be also promoted as a way to complement the recovery and recycling of traditional critical raw materials.
