View moreThis 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 :
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.
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.
You can continue to export lead acid batteries under your existing notification if you can prove the following to the Environment Agency. The POPs in the plastic are being destroyed in line with this guidance.
You may send ABS plastics and mixed plastics containing ABS from lead acid batteries for destruction (or irreversible transformation) of the POPs: You can only send mixed plastics for treatment if that is a pre-treatment to separate the POP containing plastics for destruction. The uncontaminated polypropylene fraction can then be recycled.
You must also hold an environmental permit or exemption that allows this activity. You must only treat a waste lead acid battery containing POPs for the purpose of separating the POP containing plastic case materials for destruction.
