Lead Pollution Levels From Used Lead Acid Batteries (ULABs)

Lead Presence In Plastics From ULABs and Concentrations After The Treatment

Lead pollution levels in Used Lead-Acid Batteries (ULABs) plastic casings—which are primarily Polypropylene (PP)—vary drastically depending on the source (formal vs. informal recycling) and the initial washing/separation steps.

The ultimate goal of formal recycling is to reduce the lead content to a level safe for introducing the plastic into the wider recycling market.
