Europe is, and will remain, at the leading edge of battery waste management. The European Union is keen to see the expansion of battery collection and recycling and continues to propose new legislation in an attempt to harmonise efforts across Europe. It would appear however that because the Member States remain free to be able to impose economic instruments or deposits at will, and the Directive fails to define individual responsibility, it is unlikely to achieve this aim.

Other processing methods and variations on the above processes have been proposed that may merit consideration. Interested readers are referred to the Proceedings of the International Seminar on Battery Waste Management and the relevant journals cited at the end of the chapter for more detailed information on these and other processes. 

The International Seminars on Battery Waste Management held annually at Deerfield Beach in Florida provide an excellent source of information on battery recycling and related matters. The papers presented at the seminars are published in the Proceedings that may be obtained from Ansum Enterprises, Inc., 1900 Coconut Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, U.S.A.
