In recent years, with the automotive, low-speed electric vehicles, electric motorcycles and electric bicycle market demand continues to increase, as the main driving force of lead batteries also followed by "good market." China as the world's largest producer and exporter of lead-acid batteries, lead-acid battery production accounts for about 40% of global output, with the passage of time, the recovery of these lead-acid batteries have become the industry's "incurable diseases."
Faced with the current chaos of waste lead-acid battery recycling and lead acid pollution status, the urgent need for local conditions to establish a sound and mandatory recovery system. Adhere to the policy guidance, the department together, more measures simultaneously, Shu blocking combination, strong standard waste lead-acid battery recycling.

It is reported that China Renewable Resources Recycling Association and other units recently jointly set up a national environmental protection lead-acid battery production and recycling of pollution prevention and control engineering technology center lead-acid battery recycling pilot committee. From a national perspective, in the standard waste lead-acid battery recycling disposal, which will play a guiding role. The same time as the above-
Global sales accounted for high, how to engage after the waste

The state announced 49 categories of hazardous waste, waste lead-acid batteries are among the list of such batteries in the storage, transportation, recycling, disposal, use and other aspects of the very strict rules. A waste lead battery contains 74% of the lead plate, 20% sulfuric acid, 6% of the plastic aids, if disassembled properly, will cause damage to the human body and the ecological environment. In China's annual production of 3.3 million tons of waste lead-acid batteries, the proportion of formal recovery less than 30%. According to the National Lead Acid Battery Industry Association 2016 major economic indicators statistics, the national lead-acid battery production of 306 million kVAH, compared with last year increased by about 7%, 2016 waste lead-acid battery production up to 400 million tons, such a large base is really impressive "Siwei extremely fear".
The data show that China's annual production of waste lead-acid batteries has more than 3.3 million tons, while the holding of hazardous waste business license business unit recovery is less than 30%, individual regions or even lower. A large number of waste lead-acid batteries are sold through the recovery of litter to the illegal disposal of enterprises. Recently, the author with the relevant departments to ban a waste lead-acid battery recovery dens to see a large number of waste lead-acid batteries using a variety of vehicles at random; storage space is simple, even open-air stacking, there is no basic environmental protection measures; In order to reduce transportation costs, waste lead-acid batteries sold to the collection of dens before the battery has been dismantled, lead acid liquid dumped. The same time as the above-
Lead battery recovery difficult, the status quo worry about who to control
I have random sampling in the collection of dens found that at least two percent of the waste lead-acid battery leaving only the battery shell. As the site can not be caught dumping lead-acid liquid, regulators are often unable to act on their destruction of the environment. For the recovery of waste lead-acid batteries, the recovery of dens in earn a certain price difference, will be sold to a small smelter or a small workshop, professional recycling treatment is no longer talking about. Such a recycling process can not be underestimated the damage to the environment.
In China, the current impact of waste lead-acid battery recycling (that is, recycling) of the "crux" where, can be summarized as three words - political, back, rules.
The same time as the above-
Politics. Policy is actively improved, the effect remains to be seen. In March 2016, "the People's Republic of China national economic and social development of the thirteenth five-year plan" issued, will promote resource conservation and intensive use as a separate chapter, pointed out that we should establish a conservation of intensive recycling of resources, In January 2017, the State Council issued a "producer responsibility extension system implementation program", requiring producers to extend the responsibility to carry out ecological design, the use of renewable raw materials, standardize the recycling and expansion of information disclosure in four areas, Lead-acid batteries are included in the scope of the first implementation. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the collection, storage, transportation, use, disposal of solid waste units and individuals must take anti-Yang, anti-loss, anti-leakage or other measures to prevent pollution of the environment. A series of policies issued by the relevant departments of the lead on the recovery of lead battery determination, but the specific implementation of the situation still need to actively cooperate with the community.
The same time as the above-
Back. Recycling disorder has always been an important consequence of the recycling of waste lead-acid batteries. Recycling channels confusion, practitioners to drive up the price, not only the recycling process of pollution to the environment, and a large number of resources into the illegal production enterprises, the formal recycling of lead enterprises face difficulties in procurement of raw materials. At present, China's illegal production of lead has been far greater than the legitimate production of renewable lead, a direct result of tax losses of nearly 15 billion yuan.
The same time as the above-
regulation. Violation of enterprises in power. In recent years, the Government continued to intensify efforts to rectify the illegal recycling market, it is still difficult to avoid the "small workshop" wind crime, in order to self-interest disruption to recover the market, and even formed a complete cycle of "underground industry chain." According to incomplete statistics, today, China is still hundreds of thousands of tons of waste batteries per year to the unknown. These "small workshops" in the recovery of waste lead after the battery, usually simply broken the battery, the more difficult to recover the lead-acid solution directly drained, only the higher lead content of the electrode and the grid to sell. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the "small workshop" technical level is limited, the ability to waste lead-acid battery "perfect dismantling"; another major reason is "the interests of dictatorship", with its hiring technical staff to deal with those difficult to dismantle Of the lead acid, as simple and rude "lost sesame seeds picking watermelon, where the money where to". But after this treatment, the other materials more difficult to secondary recovery, not only caused a waste of resources, but also caused irreversible pollution to the environment.

When the impact of many parties, the problem is comparable to Shu Road
The same time as the above-
On January 3, 2017, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Producer Responsibility Extension System Implementation Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Program"), and clearly implemented the extension of producer responsibility for the four major industries such as lead storage batteries. However, lead-acid battery manufacturers in the implementation of the production responsibility system in the process of facing many problems.
The same time as the above-
First, the main responsibility is unclear. At present, China has not yet established a formal enterprise-led standard lead-acid battery recycling system, "program" on the entire system of producers, sellers, users, recyclers responsibility and no regulatory requirements, landing affected the regular The establishment of the system. "Everyone is responsible" evolved into "Everyone is not responsible".
The same time as the above-
Second, the policy needs to be adjusted. Although the waste lead-acid battery has long been included in the "National List of hazardous waste", and the state has also introduced the "waste lead-acid battery pollution control technical specifications" (HJ519-2009), waste lead-acid battery recycling Clear requirements. However, in practice, due to the lack of mandatory policies and regulations to support and the corresponding financial security, coupled with the recovery system construction difficult to see a short period of time, leading to explore the establishment of recycling system around the initiative and initiative is not high, standardized waste lead Recovery system construction hysteresis. In addition, approved by the State Council, from February 1, 2015 on the battery, paint included in the scope of consumption tax levy, in the production, commissioned processing and closely linked to the collection, the applicable tax rate is 4%, the policy adjustment to legitimate production enterprises Production costs are much higher than the illegal business, so that it does not have the price advantage. To ultra-Granville Group, for example, 2016 lead-acid battery sales amount of about 15.5 billion yuan, according to the 4% tax rate, the annual payment of nearly 620 million yuan in consumption tax, not only little profit, but also a serious impact on enterprises in science and technology Aspects of investment, restricting the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.

Third, the qualification is difficult to obtain. Hazardous waste comprehensive business license access threshold is higher, and the provincial and municipal policies are not unified, the country has more than 30 qualified enterprises, an average of less than one each province. Lead-acid battery recycling is not like the general waste items, it has a certain risk, not "want to receive can receive", only with hazardous waste comprehensive business license units can engage in waste lead-acid battery collection, storage and disposal activities The If there is no qualified lead-acid battery recycling enterprises in this province, it is necessary to deal with waste lead-acid batteries for regular waste batteries, and to handle the transfer of provinces and provinces, Coupled with the cost of transport logistics, the results of most unfavorable and cumbersome, resulting in normative enterprises can only "discouraged", do not want to do waste recycling of lead-acid battery construction work, do is powerless.
The same time as the above-
Fourth, the layout threshold is relatively low, "small workshop" make money easier. The same is the battery recycling, lithium battery because "difficult process, and then use a small space" and other innate factors will be shut out of individual traders. In contrast, the high price of lead is full of "temptation" to them. Individual traders engaged in recycling operations without tax transactions, there is no pollution treatment costs, you can raise the recovery price of waste batteries, compete for waste battery supply, they are mainly distributed in Henan, Jiangxi, Shandong, Hebei and other densely populated areas, resulting in regular Enterprises face "food shortages" embarrassing situation, can not compete with the illegal industry chain, and ultimately the formation of "bad money to drive out good money" situation.
The same time as the above-
Fifth, a large number of waste lead-acid battery, the relevant departments alone as difficult to do. The current regular car 4S shop waste lead-acid battery recycling is relatively more standardized, but the car, maintenance point layout scattered, the size of a large number of waste lead-acid battery disposal is more chaotic, which undoubtedly increased the management of the regulatory difficulties. Therefore, the construction of waste lead-acid battery recycling system is a huge social systems engineering, involving many aspects of social management. Due to the lack of co-ordination of the working mechanism, most departments or units are reluctant to participate, only by the hazardous waste regulatory authorities, it is often difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.
The same time as the above-
Six is the lack of competitive advantage of formal enterprises. Formal enterprises in environmental protection, equipment, technology and other aspects of investment, coupled with management and other costs, leading to formal recycling enterprises to deal with high cost, lack of market competitiveness.
The same time as the above-
Seven is the quality of the public to be improved. Japan, the United States, Germany and other schools from the school set up waste recycling tutorials and related nurturing, raising public awareness of recycling of waste materials and environmental awareness. In addition, most of the foreign battery factory in the product packaging will be accompanied by pictures of waste batteries disposal methods and related requirements, to the follow-up recycling laid a solid foundation.

The future is long and no solution, sustainable development by everyone

Despite the difficulty, but with the efforts of environmental protection in recent years continue to increase, lead-acid battery production and recycling of lead pollution problems have also been some control. Not long ago, by the national environmental protection lead-acid battery production and recycling of pollution prevention and control engineering and technology center relying on the unit Chaowei Group initiative, the voluntary development of the parties to lead the establishment of lead-acid battery recycling pilot committee. Participate in the commission of the enterprise, its lead-acid batteries, renewable lead production are more than 80% of the national production capacity, including ultra-Granville, Tianneng, camels, sailing and other well-known lead-acid battery enterprises, Hubei Jinyang, Jiangsu Xinchun Xing and other renewable lead enterprises 21. At the same time, including China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, China Renewable Resources Recycling Association, China Battery Industry Association, Shanghai Environmental Protection Industry Alliance and other related social organizations to participate in the Committee.

In order to better improve the recycling system, to avoid the waste lead battery into the illegal channels, resulting in environmental pollution. Battery China Network recommended the relevant departments as soon as possible to improve laws and regulations, crack down on illegal recycling of waste lead-acid batteries. At the same time mobilize the various forces of society to jointly establish a scientific and complete recovery system. Improve their own environmental awareness, vigorously promote the use of lithium batteries instead of lead-acid batteries, efforts to minimize lead-acid pollution. Through the industrial chain closed-loop management, to promote lead-acid battery products, "production - consumption - recycling - use" a virtuous circle, promote the whole industry chain to enhance the level of environmental technology, promote resource recycling, and jointly promote the sustainable development of China's battery industry green cycle. But also to speed up the construction of ecological civilization and green cycle of low-carbon development of the inherent requirements of the lead-acid battery industry to promote steady and sustainable development of the only way.
