Regulations for Electric Vehicles Battery Recycling in Manitoba

Battery recycling in Canada is overseen by the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). Canada regulates battery recycling through the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and provincial stewardship programs. Provinces like Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia have mandatory battery collection and recycling programs funded by producers. Manitoba's Waste Reduction and Prevention Act establishes the framework for battery recycling. Green Manitoba oversees extended producer responsibility programs. Call2Recycle operates battery collection points across the province, and Manitoba has specific regulations for lead-acid battery management. The EU Battery Regulation requires battery passports, minimum recycled content in new batteries, and collection targets. US regulations vary by state — California, New York, and New Jersey have enacted EV battery recycling requirements. OEMs face producer responsibility obligations in most markets.
