| China-Italy Agreement on Battery Disposal |
| 02 August 2011 |
 In 2009, the Chinese government promulgated the "The Regulations for the Administration of the Recovery and Disposal Of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (WEEE Regulations)", which has been in force since January 2011. The aim of this law is to establish a system for the waste disposal and recovery of electrical and electronic products. According to the implementation of the law, the recycling activities of non-ferrous metals are experiencing substantial expansion.
To support these activities, the Chinese consortium CMRA (China Nonferrous Industry Association, Recycling Metal Branch), a non-profit organization that deals with the treatment of non-ferrous metals, has just signed an agreement with the Cobat (Italian Consortium for Collection and Recycling of Batteries) for the exchange of know-how, the training of experts and to support each other in the management and disposal of batteries. For further information please check the Cobat website (only in Italian). |
