6 FAQs about [Hazardous waste categories of lead-acid batteries]
Does a waste lead acid battery contain Pops?
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 :
Is a battery a hazardous waste?
(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).
Why are batteries classified as hazardous materials?
Batteries are classified as hazardous materials because they contain toxic substances like mercury, lead, cadmium, and lithium. Their classification varies based on chemical composition and toxicity, with common categories including lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries.
Can I export lead acid batteries from England?
Where POPs will be destroyed, you may include recovery of lead or recycling of plastic that does not contain POPs. The combination of hazardous waste and POPs severely restricts both destination countries and allowed waste management options. You must notify the export of lead acid batteries from England to destinations outside the UK.
Can I repackage a lead acid battery?
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.
Can a lead acid battery be treated?
You must only treat a waste lead acid battery containing POPs for the purpose of separating the POP containing plastic case materials for destruction. You must send all fractions from the treatment of the battery that contain POPs containing plastic material for destruction.
