Lead acid battery recycling is the process of recovering valuable materials from used batteries to prevent environmental pollution and promote resource conservation. It helps in reducing hazardous waste, supports sustainable manufacturing, and ensures compliance with environmental regulations in India.

The lead battery recycling process involves several steps:

1. Collection and Sorting – Used lead acid batteries are collected from industries, automobiles, and households.
2. Breaking and Separation – Batteries are crushed, and components such as lead, plastic, and acid are separated.
3. Lead Recovery and Refining – Lead is extracted, smelted, and refined for reuse.
4. Plastic Recycling – Battery casings are processed for reuse in new batteries.
5. Electrolyte Neutralization – Sulfuric acid is treated to make it environmentally safe.
6. Compliance and Certification – Ensuring the entire process follows regulatory guidelines.

• Reduces environmental pollution by preventing toxic lead and acid leakage.
• Supports circular economy by reusing recovered materials.
• Complies with government regulations for hazardous waste management.
• Provides a cost-effective supply of recycled lead for battery manufacturing.

Promotes job creation in the recycling sector.

Lead acid batteries that are not recycled end up in landfills, where they pose serious environmental and health hazards. The lead and sulfuric acid can contaminate soil and water, leading to long-term ecological damage and health risks for humans and wildlife.

India has implemented strict regulations under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, and the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. NavkarRecycling follows these guidelines to ensure proper collection, disposal, and recycling of lead acid batteries while maintaining environmental safety.
