https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/07/10/council-adopts-new-regulation-on-batteries-and-waste-batteries/

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user

Coming soon...

Disposable vapes are already forbidden, at least in France, idk if it is union wide.

But yeah, those things make no sense. The only thing with a battery that should be disposable would be fire alarm. Not because of tge battery, but because the main sensor has a 10 years lifespan due to its natural deterioration.
