EU battery label, QR mandate nears as Korean battery makers face supplier verification test
EU Battery Regulation requirements are entering an implementation phase as the shipment gap between South Korea’s top three battery makers and CATL widens in Europe. From Aug. 18, exporters to the EU must provide a general information label and QR code with details such as manufacturer data, plant location, weight, capacity and hazardous substances. Requirements will expand to carbon footprint grades, supply-chain due diligence, recycled content documents and battery passports, increasing compliance burdens on materials and parts suppliers.

China EV materials supply chain shifts, with scrapped cars and used batteries seen as key resources by 2050
A study finds China could meet a large share of key materials needed for future electric vehicle production by recycling scrapped EVs and used batteries. While EV adoption boosts new mineral demand, the analysis says end-of-life vehicles and batteries could become major sources of battery and motor materials over coming decades. The outlook varies by material, and depends on technology shifts, policy and how quickly collection and recycling systems are built.

Carbon data for the passport requires lifecycle assessment information from multiple tiers of suppliers. Industry groups say small and mid-sized firms lack expertise, budget and manpower, widening gaps with large companies.
