The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a temporary final rule that limits the sale of certain industrial waste products to people or companies outside the United States.
Why it matters: This move aims to keep domestic supplies of recycled minerals within the U.S. to ensure they are available for domestic manufacturing and defense needs rather than being exported.
Who it affects
- Companies in the United States that produce or sell black mass (recycled battery material)
This rule was issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security; readers should consult the Federal Register for full legal details before taking action.
