- The EU will require all lithium-ion batteries sold in the EU to have a digital battery passport starting in 2027.
- The passport provides key data like carbon footprint, supply chain origin, composition, recyclability, performance, and repair history for better consumer transparency.
- It benefits consumers by enabling informed purchasing, verifying second-hand battery health, supporting right-to-repair, and incentivizing longer-lasting products.
- Access is via free QR code scanning on devices or packaging; the system applies retroactively from February 2027.
- The passport is part of a broader EU shift toward digital product passports for various categories, empowering data-driven consumption.
