Mexico - Bill Calls for Limited Battery Ban

July 20, 2008

Mexico - Batteries

A new Mexican bill calls for a ban on import, manufacture, sale or distribution of mercury, nickel-cadmium, silver oxide and zinc batteries (the "Bill"). This new Bill follows on the earlier call for agency action by the Bill's author, urging the environmental agency (SEMARNAT) to issue a battery disposal standard. (See Link below.) As reported, SEMARNAT has been working on such a rule (an official Mexican standard or “NOM”) for some time but has not published a final version. (See Link below.)
