Thank you for involving us in the discussion on delivering the benefits of battery technology for Australia.
FBICRC and ABRI: Collaboration for a sustainable future building Australia’s lithium battery recycling capability Future Battery Industries Cooperative Research Centre and the Association for the Battery Recycling Industry acknowledge the important role each has played in driving outcomes to address the growing demand for efficient recycling solutions and a circular economy. In this regard, FBICRC is pleased to recognise ABRI as a partner. Derek Hall, CEO of FBICRC stated: “Our partnership with ABRI underscores the power of collaboration in working towards a more sustainable future. We have two projects in our research portfolio aimed at battery recycling (Recycling of Black Mass, led by Curtin University and Design of a Modular Battery Recycling Facility, funded by NSW Government with Lycopodium) and several others with a circular economy focus. The benefits of such projects build capability and capacity for the Australian industry. It will enable local processing of batteries in regional areas to produce safe, transportable intermediate battery recycling components and reduce general waste. ABRI has contributed strongly to informing the FBICRC’s battery recycling and circular economy priorities and strategy.” Katharine Hole, CEO of ABRI, added: “Battery recycling is a growth opportunity for Australia. It is essential for safety, reducing environmental harm and building a sustainable energy future. ABRI appreciates the FBICRC including ABRI as part of its advisory panel. The collaboration with the FBICRC demonstrates the significant progress that can be made when organisations work together to tackle the challenges of resource recovery and sustainability.”

Join these information sessions on the revamp of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code⬇️ Battery reuse, repurpose and recycling industry feedback is critical for improving safety and streamlining transport packing, labelling and handling processes. There is an urgent need to improve and clarify information around lithium batteries to deliver safe and practical outcomes for everyone.
We have been conducting the first comprehensive review of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (the Code) in 15 years. While high-level updates occur every two years, this in-depth review ensures the Code aligns with best practices, industry needs, and emerging risks. 🚛 Why it matters? Dangerous goods are critical to manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and many other industries. The Code sets essential safety requirements for transporting these goods by road and rail, covering classification, packaging, labelling, and handling standards. 📢 What’s next? Public consultation on the draft Code has now closed. Over the coming months, we’ll be hosting regular drop-in sessions to share insights from the feedback and discuss how we’re refining the Code. 📅 Upcoming drop-in sessions: Tuesday 25 February: Register here - https://shorturl.at/tBq8P Wednesday 12 March: Register here - https://shorturl.at/hbG8Y To learn more, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/d-Rm_Byf Your input helps shape a safer, more effective framework for transporting dangerous goods in Australia. #TransportSafety #DangerousGoods #RegulatoryReform #ADGCode #NTCAustralia

This is an important message for all households and businesses ⚠️🔋Lithium-ion batteries: shop, charge, and recycle safely The latest advice from Fire and Rescue NSW is below ⬇️ Not practising battery safety can have devastating consequences.
In 2025, NSW has already seen 25 lithium-ion battery fires—13 of those just last week. Our crews responded to four incidents within 12 hours, highlighting a growing concern. A recent NSW Government survey revealed significant community complacency about the risks of lithium-ion battery use. In response, Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell AFSM is urging all NSW residents to follow the advice of the "Shop, Charge and Recycle Safely" campaign. Here’s how you can help reduce the risk of fires: ✅Install a working smoke alarm in rooms where batteries are charged. ✅Stay nearby when charging devices ❌Don't use damaged batteries ❌Never modify a lithium-ion battery Stay informed and learn more about safe shopping, charging, and recycling: https://lnkd.in/geHiskjk

Battery safety is a global issue, with a recent survey from leaving UK Insurance agency, Aviva, showing 54% of UK businesses have experienced a safety incident, and one in five have experienced fires. And less than half partner with or use a battery recycling facility https://lnkd.in/gEt-QCGS Join us in Sydney on July 17 to find out about importance of the battery circular economy, safe recycling and the role your company plays in reducing the risks of battery fires. The Battery Recycling and Manufacturing Summit will feature presentations from a range of industry and government representatives, including keynote speaker, NSW Environment Minister, the Hon Penny Sharpe, MLC. The Summit is an opportunity to learn more about the exciting developments, research and technology that give Australia the foundations to be a world leader in the transition to a circular battery economy. Early bird registrations are now open until 28 February on the conference website https://lnkd.in/gGFZMi2F #sustainability #recycling #batteries #government #environment #busines #conference #circulareconomy

The metals and other materials in batteries can be recovered for use in new products. Support Australia's battery recycling sector by dropping off your batteries at approved locations. For further information on Victorian options see https://lnkd.in/gefgyQvC
Keep batteries out of your bins. Instead, store used batteries safely at home until you can take them to a drop-off point for recycling. ♻️ Use a glass container and cover battery ends with sticky tape or duct tape to prevent sparking and reduce the risk of fire in your home. 🔥 Check our website for more information and drop-off locations: https://lnkd.in/gefgyQvC

Great to see Cobalt Institute industry advocating for extended producer responsibility and focusing on the issues of battery collection beyond the major battery manufacturing hubs. This report from the Cobalt Industry is an interesting discussion on the development of a cobalt circular economy. Cobalt is a key input in batteries for electronics and some EVs. https://lnkd.in/eh-gT9b8 #circulareconomy #batteryrecycling

⚠️Australian and New Zealand Emergency Response Guide Book Update⚠️ 🔋Includes Considerations For Lithium Battery & Electric Vehicle (EV) Fires 🔋 The National Transport Commission and the Competent Authorities Panel have finalised the 2024 edition of the Australian and New Zealand Emergency Response Guide Book. This is based on the updated 2024 ERG released by Canutec. Digital copy available at https://lnkd.in/gHFidGBb (near the bottom of the page) Link to purchase hard copies: https://lnkd.in/g8T8cuxQ The NTC advises that the definition of emergency information in the ADG Code means that either of the ANZ-ERG 2024 or the ANZ-ERG 2021 are valid emergency information while ADG 7.9 is in effect. However, the earlier AERG 2018 (from CAP and NTC) and the HB 76 (from Standards Australia) are no longer acceptable for use as emergency information under the current ADG Code. These contain outdated information and should be replaced as soon as possible. Should you identify any errors or omissions, please email these to ADGCode@ntc.gov.au. Note that the NTC and CAP do not alter the technical content of the guides, but can assist with referring issues with this content to the organisations responsible for the source document.
