Transport packaging for industrial and lithium-ion batteries in the EU involves careful consideration of hazardous material regulations, environmental concerns, and the safe and compliant movement of these energy storage devices. Adhering to established standards helps ensure a smooth and secure transportation process while minimising risks and environmental impact.
Our AkyPak® containers can be certified to UN 38.3 packaging standards, specifically designed for the transportation of industrial batteries classified as dangerous solid goods. This certification guarantees that our containers provide proper containment in the event of an impact, preventing leakage into the environment while minimizing risks to handlers, the ecosystem, and the overall supply chain.
Our ability to obtain UN packaging certification gives us, and you, the peace of mind that our packaging solutions can be designed to withstand the potential hazards associated with battery transportation. This serves as evidence to the rigorous testing and evaluation our packaging solutions undergo to meet stringent safety standards.
Building on the foundation of safety, our packaging is tailored based on the specific type and quantity of industrial batteries to be transported. Whether battery packs, battery modules, defective batteries or end-of-life batteries to be recycled. Our tailored approach ensure that each packaging solution is optinally designed to ensure the secure and compliant movement of these energy storage devices.
The Council of the EU adopted a new regulation on batteries and waste batteries in July 2022, strengthening sustainability rules for batteries and waste batteries. The regulation will regulate the entire life cycle of batteries, from production to reuse and recycling, to ensure that they are safe, sustainable, and competitive. At the root of the regulation is the belief that batteries are key to the decarbonisation process and the EU’s shift towards zero-emission modes of transport.
EU regulations will apply to all battery types, including waste portable batteries, electric vehicle batteries, industrial batteries, starting, lightning, and ignition (SLI) batteries (used mostly for vehicles and machinery), and batteries for light means of transport (e.g., electric bikes, e-mopeds, and e-scooters).
Notably, collection targets are set for producers to recover waste portable batteries (63% by the end of 2027 and 73% by the end of 2030) and for waste batteries for light means of transport (51% by the end of 2028 and 61% by the end of 2031).
Fact: The electronics industry is a significant consumer of multi-material packaging solutions that are hard to recycle. It does so because protecting sensitive electronic components from impacts, vibrations, and environmental factors takes precedence over environmental concerns. However, times are changing, and industry dynamics are evolving prompting a shift towards sustainable packaging solutions. As consumer and regulatory pressures mount, the electronics industry has a growing incentive to adopt more environmentally friendly packaging practices.
Enter our Correx® Elec range – With this solution, you can continue to prioritise protection, organisation, and efficiency to ensure the smooth flow of production and logistics processes without compromising your environmental goals. In developing this specialized packaging range for work-in-progress and finished goods, we favour mono-material solutions, optimize packaging design for minimal waste, and extend packaging lifecycles through recycling and reuse, ensuring your sustainability goals are met.
