Sustainable Living Podcast | Season 10: Voices forCircular ChangeEpisode 9: The EU Battery Passport — From Regulation to Circularity

This episode is brought to you with the support of SNRB.

Batteries are becoming the backbone of Europe's clean energy transition, but how do we track them responsibly across their entire lifecycle?

In this episode, we sit down with Zinaida Nazarenko, Relations and Development Director at EUCOBAT, to unpack the EU Battery Passport: the new digital identity that will become mandatory for EV, light means of transport, and industrial batteries starting 18 February 2027.

We talk about what the Battery Passport actually is, how itcan support traceability, second-life use, and recycling, and what technical, operational, and governance challenges still stand in the way.

Zinaida also shares EUCOBAT's perspective on what "practical and harmonised implementation" really means and whatstakeholders in Romania should be focusing on over the next 18 months.

A must-listen for anyone curious about how digital tools arereshaping the circular economy for batteries.
