The standards implement Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, and are based on the Administrator's determination that lead-acid battery manufacturing facilities contribute significantly to air pollution, which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
Waste lead-acid batteries are a type of solid waste generated by widely dispersed sources, including households, enterprises, and government agencies. Although the number of WLABs from each individual household is low, the total number of WLABs from society is high, causing great social concern.
The intended effect of this regulation is to require new, modified, and reconstructed lead-acid battery manufacturing facilities to control lead emissions within the specified limits, which can be achieved through the use of the best demonstrated system of continuous emission reduction.
Lead from recycled lead–acid batteries has become the primary source of lead worldwide. Battery manufacturing accounts for greater than 85% of lead consumption in the world and recycling rate of lead–acid batteries in the USA is about 99%. Therefore, battery manufacturing and recycled lead form a closed loop.
Similar to the systems implemented in Japan and Brazil, this system foresees that the battery manufacturers will be indirectly responsible for the collection and transportation of used lead-acid batteries. This system differs from the above described in three ways:
Subsequently, the MIIT and MEE issued new conditions for companies entering the lead battery and the secondary lead industry in 2012, stipulating that newly renovated and expanded recycling enterprises entering the sector must have a minimum capacity of 50 kt/a.
