Notes:

Facility treating the waste batteries and accumulators after collection, eventual sorting and preparation for recycling.

Description of the complete battery recycling process, no matter if carried out by one or several facilities (including a description of the individual recycling steps and their output fractions).

Description of waste batteries and accumulators as received after collection, eventual sorting and preparation for recycling.

Wet mass of waste batteries and accumulators as received after collection, eventual sorting and preparation for recycling (the mass of separated impurities and outer casing of battery packs as well as the water content as specified in the field ‘overall composition’ shall be subtracted for the calculation of the recycling efficiency).

Data transferred from Annex IV(2).

Calculated according to the formula for RE based on data reported according to Annex IV(2).

Calculated according to the formula for RPb based on data reported according to Annex IV(2).

Examples of impurities include plastic, ebonite chips, items/pieces of iron, fibres from electronic scrap, molten aluminium.
