Nordic Ecolabelling criteria for Primary Batteries under consideration

Dear stakeholder,

We would like to inform you that our proposal for new Nordic Ecolabelling criteria for Primary Batteries is now under consideration. We would highly appreciate your input so that we can be as successful as possible.

Nordic Ecolabelling is developing a new consulting process in order for you to get involved from the beginning of the revision. Thus the consultation on reviewing the criteria for Primary batteries is divided into three sub processes, each dealing with a specific topic in three individual consultation periods.

Information regarding the new consulting process, how to reply and deadlines for commenting, can be found here:

All information regarding the proposal for the first sub process, product definition, use of resources in batteries and packaging, can be found here:

Your comments will help us to improve our work, which aims towards sustainable production and consumerism.

Best regards,
Nordic Ecolabelling

Jon Fold von Bülow

Jon Fold von Bülow recieved his Cand. Scient. in Nanoscience from University of Copenhagen in 2011 and is currently working with upscaling Li- and Na-ion battery materials to the 100+ kg scale for Haldor Topsøe A/S.

Jon's main interest lies in energy technologies for the future and he started working with fusion energy at Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy. He has since developed a growing interest in technologies that are closer to potential industrial application. He is a highly dedicated academic as well as a very active professional and have initiated and participated in many different projects.

His studies within nanotechnological material science and affiliation with Risø National Laboratories has taken him to Germany, China and the US, where he has collaborated independently with several international research groups. He has so far succeeded in pushing two academic projects to industrial application, first with the Danish company Coloplast A/S and recently with a California-based battery start-up – an invention that is currently being US patented.

Jon has conducted most of his work on Li-batteries in the facilities of California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) as a research scholar at UCSB-MIT-Caltech Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB). The manganese based cathode materials he fabricated during this period were all tuned for high-power applications and covers synthesis of various manganese oxides from solution, molten and solid states.
