The National Environmental (Battery Control) Regulations 2024, unveiled by the Federal Government of Nigeria on August 29, 2024, aims to prevent and minimize pollution and waste from batteries throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal. The regulations introduce measures such as formalizing the battery recycling sector, promoting safe disposal methods, and implementing an Extended Producer Responsibility program, with enforcement to be carried out by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA).
