Europe’s Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) is moving into a more demanding phase for manufacturers and importers targeting the European market. Key upcoming obligations include: Material recovery targets are also rising: 50% lithium recovery by the end of 2027 and 80% by 2031, with even higher rates for cobalt, nickel, and other metals. In parallel, the European Commission announced 46 new strategic raw-material projects (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, graphite, and others) across multiple EU countries. These aim to meet Critical Raw

Selecting the right battery voltage is one of the most important decisions when powering industrial floor sweepers. The title of this guide, 24V vs. 36V vs. 48V Lithium Batteries for Industrial Sweepers, captures a practical question facility managers and equipment operators face every day. Industrial sweepers must deliver reliable runtime, consistent brush performance, and low downtime across warehouses, factories, logistics centers, and large commercial spaces. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batte ries have become the preferred chemistry because they offer 2,000–5,000+
