The draft amendment would exempt facilities that place not more than 1 kg of portable batteries or accumulators on the market annually from collecting and recycling requirements. The same exemption would also apply to facilities that place not more than 100 kg of industrial or car batteries or accumulators on the market per year. The draft amendment also would simplify recordkeeping and specify requirements for contracts with used battery collectors and processors. Finally, it would increase and add penalties.
