12 3. Influences on the lead business

13 Influences on the lead business Regulations Us as industry Technology Customers What is the influence?

14 Regulatory requirements for fuel economy and CO 2 emissions in the automotive sector CO 2 Targets grams CO 2 /km Europe 15% by % improvement over 2015 levels by 2020 United States 15% by % improvement in average fuel economy by 2025 China Aligning requirements around EU regulations Existing and pending legislation continues to push automakers to introduce new technologies

15 Battery Technology and Applications Transport Sector New European Green Vehicles Initiative (in Horizon 2020) recognises the importance of R&D into all levels of hybridisation and electrification SLI Conventional combustion engine EFB Simple start-stop systems AGM High cycle needs and advanced Start-Stop + + < 50 V Micro Hybrid HEV + + PHEV + + EV

19 4. Challenges from the European legislation for lead

20 Rulemaking affecting lead based product and operations Battery Directive 2006/66/EC Regulates the distribution of batteries and the obligations regarding the collection and handling of used batteries PRODUCT focussed Revision ~ 2016 ELV Directive 2005/53/ EC = End of Life Vehicles Bans the use of lead in cars and light commercial vehicles OEM focussed Revision ~ 2014 REACH = Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, restriction of CHemical substances Certain substances cannot be placed on the market or used after a given date, unless an authorization is granted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) SUBSTANCES focussed Candidate list and authorisation process ~ 2014

21 Rulemaking affecting lead based product and operations - ELV ELV Directive 2005/53/ EC = End of Life Vehicles Bans the use of lead in cars and light commercial vehicles OEM focussed Revision ~ 2014 Aim: Maintain the current exemption in the ELV Directive, considering all possible technologies, including possible enhancing of the performance Participants: Car Industry: ACEA, JAMA, KAMA / EUROBAT / International Lead Association Activities: Evaluation of resource availability Review of batteries technologies for automotive and industrial applications Launch of Life-Cycle Analysis of lead-based battery technologies

22 Rulemaking affecting lead based product and operations - REACH REACH = Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, restriction of CHemical substances Certain substances cannot be placed on the market or used after a given date, unless an authorization is granted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) SUBSTANCES focussed Candidate list and authorisation process ~ 2014 Status: 4 lead compounds from the Registry of Intention (ROI) were added to the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern and are now in the final revision of the priorization list Priorization process every year ending in Spring All 4 substances are irreplaceable in the lead battery production Selection of four Lead compounds for authorization would create pressure for substitution of automotive and industrial batteries

23 Effects of authorisation on the battery industry An unpredictable and unstable legal framework: Battery Directive 2016 ELV 2014 REACH only temporary permanent risk on the future of lead-based battery manufacturing/use. REAC H 2014 ELV Consequences: Increased imports REACH only regulates EU Loss of level playing field High investment risk

24 Tightening of Occupational Exposure Level We have to adjust to this risk! and get prepared EUROBAT Members agreed to tighten the targets in near future EUROBAT provided last blood lead workshop for members in November EUROBAT is currently conducting a new survey to update the blood lead data 2

25 Lead-based batteries: Closed loop recycling We have a unique recycling rate! and all cards in hand to be one of the most resource efficient products Self-sufficient and independent The best example of resource efficiency 95% of lead-based batteries collected and recycled New batteries out of ca. 70 % recycled lead and plastic.

26 Lead is an old industry but with a great future! Do not put your company at risk: To meet environmental challenges is not just an obligation of good citizenship! Severe damage to company image, claims for indemnification! Threat for the whole industry! There are new challenges present: Battery Directive ELV REACH

27 Lead is an old industry but with a great future! If we recognize and agree: Lead needs specific attention in the whole value chain: Meet legislative targets in West and East! Meet transport and collection obligation! Use recycling opportunities! Do not sacrifice standards for assumed short-term competitive advantages! We have to keep standards on a high level with a clear direction to improve!

28 Lead is an old industry but with a great future! The future will bring: The specification for lead as raw material for batteries will get tighter! Compliance requirements from the battery industry will be more restrictive in the future! Each industry partner has to meet the most restrictive requirements possible! The room to improve is much wider than you think!

29 Lets work together to overcome the challenges!. and let us pull together to enjoy the great future of a strong industry with modern, clean and efficient products THANK YOU!
