HD 3028 requires manufacturers and brand owners (producers) of portable and medium lithium-ion batteries sold in Massachusetts to fund a statewide recycling program. It establishes a system where producers must pay for collection and recycling through designated nonprofit "battery stewardship organizations," which must meet annual collection rate targets based on estimated battery sales. The program excludes vehicle batteries, large industrial batteries (over 2,000 watt-hours), medical device batteries, and lead-acid batteries. This shifts recycling responsibility and costs from consumers and taxpayers to the producers of covered batteries.
