The Ministry of Environment (MOE) announced that it will launch a pilot project for the certification of recycled materials from electric vehicle waste batteries in collaboration with EV waste battery recycling companies.


The pilot project for the certification of waste battery recycled materials will be operated through a council composed of recycling industry and experts, and plans to establish and improve the certification system by specifying the certification method for recycled materials.


Recycling waste batteries to produce recycled materials can contribute to the stable supply of key minerals such as nickel and cobalt, which are currently heavily reliant on imports, and can also contribute to the realization of a circular economy.


The Ministry of Environment (MOE) announced that it aims to create a model case for the circular use of waste batteries by cooperating with the EV waste battery recycling industry through this pilot project. Additionally, the MOE plans to expand the use of recycled materials in various fields, including batteries and electronics, to help the circular economy take root throughout society.

  On December 13th, the government announced plans to enhance the competitiveness of the secondary battery industry during an emergency economic ministerial meeting.   A bill will be introduced by 2024 to systematically promote the post-use battery industry. A three-stage safety inspection system will also be implemented for the secure distribution and utilization of electric vehicles with used batteries and reusable products. Batteries meeting performance criteria are recognized as products from the dismantling stage, with extended storage periods for recycling and mandatory information input at each lifecycle stage through legislation. The patent review period for secondary batteries will be shortened from 21 to 10 months. Exemptions for electric sales permits will be granted to electric two-wheeler battery exchange services, and support will be provided for new markets like secondary battery subscriptions.

  Freepik The Ministry of Science and ICT announced that the revised Radio Wave Act Enforcement Decree, which relaxes regulations on radio wave utilization, will come into effect from March 26th. The main contents of the revised Radio Wave Act Enforcement Decree are as follows. 1. The full exemption of spectrum usage fees for small and medium-sized MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) has been extended until 2024. Starting from 2025, spectrum usage fees will be gradually imposed. 2. The Unified Wireless Station Inspection Schedule System will be implemented. Multiple wireless stations located in the same installation site or operated by the same facility owner with different inspection schedules will be improved to allow for joint regular inspections. 3. The approval process for public 5G Integrated Repeaters (i5G) installed or equipped on robots, intelligent CCTVs, and others will be relaxed from a permit system to a notification system. 4. Reduction of Safety Assessment Fees for
