Recital 80
(80) Batteries may be collected together with waste electrical and electronic equipment, by way of national collection schemes set up on the basis of Directive 2012/19/EU and with end-of-life vehicles in accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC. In this case, as an obligatory minimum treatment requirement, batteries should be removed from the collected waste appliances and end-of-life vehicles. It is necessary to ensure that all batteries are removed from any separately collected waste electrical and electronic equipment prior to treatment of this waste electrical and electronic equipment or during the treatment process provided that this process can ensure that batteries can be separated in a distinct stream and that the batteries remain undamaged. Moreover, quantified objectives should be established for WEEE operators to remove batteries from certain WEEE categories (5 and 6). After their removal, batteries should be subject to the requirements of this Regulation, notably they should be counted towards the attainment of the collection target for the type of battery in question and be subject to treatment and recycling requirements laid down in this Regulation.
