Get StartedWaste batteries that are classified as hazardous waste can be collected under the streamlined collection standards for universal waste. These universal waste standards were created in an attempt to make it easier to collect the waste batteries and send them for recycling (or proper treatment and disposal).
Separate collections of other batteries, including alkaline and lithium batteries, are currently classified under non-hazardous waste codes but are likely to contain substances or materials that have hazardous properties (for example, toxic or reactive metals and corrosive or flammable substances).
There is also potential to expand the policy and regulatory framework to integrate the existing waste management system, encompassing a diverse range of batteries, including lead-acid batteries, LIBs, and other power batteries.
Waste batteries represent a critical waste stream due to their valuable materials and potential environmental hazards. Existing studies predominantly focus on recycling methods, technologies, and material recovery, often relegating policy and regulatory considerations to secondary or partial analyses.
