Lead Acid Battery Recycling

Battery Recycling is good for the Earth and good for future generations. Battery Recycling is the act of processing used or abandoned Batteries, which would otherwise be considered waste and harmful to our environment.  Many communities have curbside Battery Recycling services to help out and there are Battery Recycling centers all across the country where Spent Battery can be brought. Often times Battery Recycling centers pay you for dropping Spent Battery off, so it’s a win-win situation.

There are many misconceptions about what materials can and cannot be recycled. These misconceptions hinder the success and cost-efficiency of recycling programs worldwide. However, with a little consumer education, recycling can be a very important and environmentally sound solution to waste management.

Why Lead Recycling
Lead is a material which is very easy to recycle. It can be re-melted many times, and provided enough processes to remove impurities. The final product (termed as Secondary Lead) is indistinguishable in any way from primary Lead produced from the ore.

The amount of Lead recycled as a proportion of total production is already fairly high worldwide. Over 50% of Lead consumed is derived from recycled or re-used material.
Recycling rates of Lead are estimated to be much higher than for other materials.

Recovering scrap metal has the advantages that it is easier and much less energy intensive than producing primary Lead from ore (the production of recycled Lead requires 35-40% of the energy needed to produce Lead from ore.) Recycling also reduces dispersal of Lead in the environment and conserves mineral resources for the future. It is estimated that at least 85% of Lead consumed could potentially be recycled. However, in practice the amount that is recovered is lower.

Lead Battery Scrap:
Lead Battery Scrap is a hazardous waste & unsafe disposal creates heavy environmental & health problems. Careful recycling is essential, beneficial & cost effective in comparison to cost of treatment & disposal. Secondary production of Lead (recycling) from scrap result in less solid waste, uses less energy & reduces the consumption of minerals resources compared to the Lead production from the ores.

Role in Production
The role of recycling in the production of metals continues to grow. Due to the high value of metals, economic considerations are usually sufficient to ensure reasonably high recycling rates and efforts to increase it. Environmental concerns currently play a secondary role.

Limitation in Recycling:
Some Lead products are not recycled, either because it is not economic to do so at present, or simply because it is not practical to do so. However, recycling rates are generally increasing. Legislative and economic factors are two key incentives for this increase.

Resources to increase recycling rate
Improved waste management systems, such as incentives for battery recovery, guidelines for handling old building materials, old vehicles, electronic scrap, stricter quality demands for dumping materials and also progress in production techniques tend to generate higher recycling rates.
