The bill requires consumer brands to design devices in such a way that batteries can be easily replaced, either by removing the battery back cover, or simply by unscrewing an obvious screw.

The European Union believes that when it is easier to replace batteries, it will extend the cycle life of consumers’ devices, thereby reducing the waste of e-waste.

Other content in the bill also requires that starting in 2024, battery manufacturers must report the carbon footprint of their products from raw material extraction to waste recycling.

However, the bill has yet to be considered by the Council of the European Union. The outside world believes that the review will encounter some protests from Apple, Google, Samsung and other companies.
