Although Wisconsin point-of-sale notices do not require specific language, the notices must indicate that: 1) is illegal to dispose of a motor vehicle battery or other battery in a landfill or incinerator; 2) batteries should be recycled; and 3) state law requires retailers to accept used batteries as trade-ins and in some other instances. Wisconsin point-of-sale notices will be produced, printed and distributed by the state.
With improved cooperation among stakeholders, increased research funding, and by following the circular economy example of lead batteries, the U.S. can regain domestic supply chain security and advance a low-carbon and renewable energy future.
