In 2017, China produced about 3.8 million metric tons of lead-acid batteries, more than 40 percent of the global total, according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
Lead-acid batteries (LABs), a widely used energy storage equipment in cars and electric vehicles, are becoming serious problems due to their high environmental impact. In this study, an integrated method, combining material flow analysis with life cycle assessment, was developed to analyze the environmental emissions and burdens of lead in LABs. The environmental burdens

It is illegal to dispose of spent or otherwise unwanted lead-acid batteries in the trash. The Lead-acid Battery Recycling Law (link leaves DECs website) was signed into law on May 17, 1990, and took effect on January 1, 1991. The law requires retailers and distributors who sell lead-acid batteries to accept used batteries from customers.

The Commonwealth Environmental Protection Agency "hazardous waste act policy reference group" met recently to discuss the problem of lead acid battery waste. Australia produces about 3.8 million waste batteries each year and in past years about 2.5 million have been recycled. This means that exporting used lead acid batteries from Australia
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.
However, in China lead-acid batteries are ''recycled'' in very crude small-scale operations where approximately 50 percent of the lead is being lost into the environment. Lead battery waste can discharge acid into waterways and soil, posing a threat to human health.

Recycling of used lead-acid batteries, provided it is done in an environmentally sound manner, is important because it keeps the batteries out of the waste stream destined for final disposal.Lead from storage batteries placed in unlined landfills can even contaminate the groundwater. Given the issues mentioned, sourcing high-quality battery parts is also crucial.
