Bill overview
This bill, the Responsible Battery Recycling Act of 2022, aims to improve battery recycling in California by expanding the definition of ‘covered batteries’ to include loose batteries that are easily removable from products. It also seeks to standardize battery categorization into ‘small format’ and ‘medium format’ batteries, and requires producers to develop and implement stewardship plans for collecting and recycling these batteries. The bill was ultimately failed.
