6 FAQs about [Ministry of Environmental Protection on lead-acid batteries]
What is the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for recycling lead-acid batteries?
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has released the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the recycling of lead scrap/used lead-acid batteries. The SOP aims to regulate the import, transport, and recycling of lead-bearing waste while minimising environmental and health risks.
What are the problems with lead acid batteries in China?
The remaining problems including low secondary proportion, disordered recycling system, and high proportion of oudated process, still exist in China until now. The amount of used lead acid batteries rises along with the rapid development of battery manufacture in China.
What is a recycled lead battery?
As for the recycled waste batteries, the primary lead industry can take lead concentrate or higher grade lead concentrate after sintering as the main raw material, and lead-containing waste in waste lead-acid batteries such as lead paste from a small number of WLABs as auxiliary ingredients.
Which countries levy a tax on lead batteries?
Denmark and the Netherlands levy a tax on each lead battery or vehicle to pay for the collection of lead batteries and subsidize the loss-making process of secondary lead recycling. Greece and Ireland have established funding programs to finance project development and related research on lead batteries and other metal recycling projects.
Why are lead-acid batteries more dangerous in developing countries?
The blood lead and airborne lead exposure concentrations for battery workers were substantially higher in developing countries than in the United States. This disparity may worsen due to rapid growth in lead-acid battery manufacturing and recycling operations worldwide.
