This guidance applies to waste automotive, industrial and portable lead acid batteries. It does not apply to other types of waste battery. The plastic cases of waste lead acid batteries may contain persistent organic pollutants (POPs). You can identify if a waste lead acid battery may contain POPs by checking: Where the battery case is made of :
Inappropriate recycling operations release considerable amounts of lead particles and fumes emitted into the air, deposited onto soil, water bodies and other surfaces, with both environment and human health negative impacts. Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector.
(3) Batteries, as described in Sec. 273.9, that are not hazardous waste. A battery is a hazardous waste if it exhibits one or more of the characteristics identified in 40 CFR part 261, subpart C. (c) Generation of waste batteries. (1) A used battery becomes a waste on the date it is discarded (e.g., when sent for reclamation).
Used lead-acid batteries must be considered as hazardous wastes when transport is needed. Again, the main problem associated with battery transport is the electrolyte, which may leak from used batteries, requiring control measures in order to minimize the risk of spillage and define the specific actions to be taken in event of an accident:
You may only temporarily store or repackage waste lead acid batteries containing POPs before: You must also sort lead acid batteries with polypropylene cases, that should not contain POPs, from those with other cases. You must also hold an environmental permit or exemption that allows this activity.
In its resolution 3/9, the United Nations Environment Assembly invited the COP to consider updating the technical guidelines for the environmentally sound management (ESM) of waste lead-acid batteries. It was recommended during the OEWG-12 face-to-face meetings that the COP should decide to update those technical guidelines.

rate of lead–acid battery exports from China, which declined at a stable rate after 2016. In 2018, the lead–acid battery export volume for China reached 190.23 million, whereas the import volume was only 10.94 million [16, 17]. This high-trade decit is one of the major causes of the relatively low lead-recycling rate in China.
