Phones, computers, electric cars… they all use batteries. And demand is increasing rapidly.    
 
The European Parliament has approved new rules to reduce the impact on the environment, ensuring minimum standards for recycling batteries and their component materials.

Circular economy: getting more life from batteries

MEPs debate on the following topics during the plenary session in Strasbourg: Batteries and waste batteries - Achille VARIATI (S&D,IT); Artificial Intelligence Act - Brando BENIFEI (S&D, IT) and by Dragoş TUDORACHE (Renew, RO).

Voting session: Batteries and waste batteries; Artificial Intelligence Act

Parliament gives its final green light to updated rules for the design, production and waste management of all types of batteries sold in the EU. The deal reached with the Council in December 2022 aims to build a stronger and more competitive industrial sector, which is crucial for the EU’s energy transition and for strategic autonomy. It introduces stronger requirements to make batteries more sustainable, more durable and better-performing, as well as including more stringent targets for waste collection, recycling efficiency and material recovery. Closing statements by Virginijus SINKEVIČIUS, European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries and by Achille VARIATI (S&D, IT), Rapporteur.

Voting session: EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles, Foreign interference in all democratic processes in the European Union, including disinformation

MEPs from the ENVI (Environment, Public Health and Food Safety) Committee vote on the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles. The European Parliament calls for binding EU legislation to guarantee that fashion is not produced at the cost of environmental destruction and human lives. Requirements should be set that prevent unsold clothes from being shredded or sent to landfill just because they are no longer in fashion or the warehouse is full. Only textiles that meet a minimum standard of sustainability requirements should be imported into the EU or produced within the EU. Extracts from the vote in committee and statement by Delara BURKHARDT (S&D, DE), Rapporteur.

Vote on EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles: extracts from the vote and statement by Delara BURKHARDT (S&D, DE), Rapporteur

On 27 April, ENVI Members vote on the own-initiative report on the Sustainable Textiles Strategy. The EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles is an integral part of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. It sets out to create a coherent framework to facilitate the transition of the textiles industry to a more sustainable and climate-neutral model by 2030. Specific ambitions include ensuring that textile products placed on the EU market are durable, recyclable and made largely of recycled fibres, free of hazardous substances and produced in full respect of human and workers.

MEPs debate on the reform of Emissions Trading System including for aviation and the maritime sector, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and a new Social Climate fund. In particular, during the debate they discuss deals reached with EU countries in late 2022 on several key pieces of legislation that are part of the “Fit for 55 in 2030 package”. This is the EU’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels in line with the European Climate Law.

Van smartphones tot slimme steden, apparaten met een internetverbinding produceren steeds meer gegevens. Het Europees Parlement wil het potentieel daarvan vrijgeven. Gegevens zijn de sleutel tot innovatie in sectoren van technologie tot gezondheid, transport tot landbouw. De Europarlementariërs zijn bezorgd dat te veel gegevens onbenut blijven of in handen zijn van techreuzen. Ze willen nieuwe regels om kleinere bedrijven en overheidsinstanties te helpen betere producten en diensten te leveren. De Dataverordening creëert een kader voor de economie van morgen.

Wat biedt de nieuwe EU-Dataverordening aan bedrijven, innovators en Europeanen?

The amount of clothes bought per person in the EU increased by 40 % between 1996 and 2012. Producing new clothing causes chemical pollution and contributes to climate change. There is a strong push in the EU to make every phase of garment production more sustainable. Some companies and fashion brands are investing in new technologies and business models. So what is the way forward? Even though there is no global one-size-fits-all answer, key trends have emerged, like circular fashion. This model promotes clothing rental, re-use and recycling.

EPRS - Circular fashion

The European Commission’s proposal for a regulation establishing a general framework for setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products, repeals rules currently in force which concentrate on energy-related products only. The regulation would lay down rules that would apply to all products on the internal market, with the aim of making them more durable, reusable, reparable, upgradable, recyclable and generally less harmful to the environment. The regulation would include rules on a digital product passport, green public procurement and banning the destruction of unsold goods.

The Commission, on 24 February 2021, adopted the new EU strategy on climate change adaptation which aims at enhancing the EU’s and the world’s capacity to adapt to and minimise the impacts of climate change and at the same time further develop and accelerate actions across the economy and society.

EPRS - Climate adaptation: how can we build resilience?

De Europarlementariërs leggen de laatste hand aan maatregelen om de groene transitie te versnellen en de EU uiterlijk 2050 koolstofneutraal te maken. De Europese klimaatdoelen zullen hoog op de agenda van het Parlement staan in de eerste helft van 2023. De leden zullen dan een verbod op verontreinigende voertuigen en een strenger systeem voor emissiehandel goedkeuren. Er zal worden gestemd over nieuwe regels om groene brandstoffen een impuls te geven en de energie-efficiëntie te verhogen. Het Parlement wil ook beslissen over een gemeenschappelijk kader voor technologie rond kunstmatige intelligentie, samen met maatregelen om de digitale sector eerlijker en veiliger voor iedereen te maken.
