Progress in lead acid battery recycling and construction of carbon footprint management system in 2023
This article discusses the progress of lead acid battery recycling and construction of carbon footprint management system.As the end of 2023,the number of motor vehicles in China is about 435 million,the ownership of electric bicycles is about 350 million units,and the demand for lead-acid batteries continued to increase slightly.In 2023,the production of lead-acid batteries in China is about 270 GW·h,and the amount of metal lead used is about 5.44 million tons.The dismantling and processing capacity of waste lead batteries is about 4.68 million tons,and the production of recycled lead is about 2.9 million tons.According to the requirements for the full lifecycle management of lead-acid battery products,it is urgent to establish and standardize a system for the recycling and carbon footprint management of waste lead-acid batteries.
