We Want to Hear from Island Communities
As part of EPA’s initiative to develop battery collection best practices and labeling guidelines, EPA is hosting working sessions to learn more about the unique perspectives of island communities. These sessions will include broader discussions on recycling of consumer electric and portable batteries, as well as focused conversations on battery applications in vehicles, energy storage systems, and industrial settings. EPA aims to better understand the unique challenges island communities face related to battery collection, storage, and transport; explore how federal programs influence current practices; and identify opportunities for further action.
If you are part of an island community and are interested in participating in these meetings, or if you would like to share your experiences successfully collecting and recycling batteries, please provide your information below.
If you have any questions, please contact batteries@epa.gov.
