Architecture-level intellectual property focused on battery safety, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and circularity considerations.
This site describes a patent-pending battery packaging architecture developed to support battery safety, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) objectives, and circularity considerations for consumer battery manufacturers.
The concept integrates retail display packaging with a post-use containment and return function, addressing safety and handling considerations upstream of formal battery collection systems.
The invention is a dual-use, paper-based packaging architecture that:
• Functions as retail display packaging at point of sale
• Converts post-purchase into a safe battery containment structure
• Incorporates passive terminal isolation using honeycomb or cellular geometry
• Is intended to complement existing battery collection and EPR programs
The focus is on packaging architecture, not a finished product design.
Portable batteries are increasingly prioritized under EU and global EPR frameworks due to fire risk in waste and recycling streams, low historic collection rates, and widespread consumer usage.
Packaging architectures that support safe interim storage and consumer participation are increasingly evaluated as part of regulatory compliance and risk-management strategies.
