Waste and scrap of lead-acid accumulators; spent lead-acid accumulators
HS v2022 Code: 854911
About waste and scrap of lead-acid accumulators; spent lead-acid accumulators
HS code 854911 covers the trade of waste and scrap of lead-acid accumulators, as well as spent lead-acid accumulators. This industry plays a crucial role in the recycling and recovery of valuable materials, contributing to the circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of battery disposal. As a key component of the broader 8549 Electrical and electronic waste and scrap industry, the 854911 trade is an essential part of the global supply chain for battery materials.
Production process
The main production techniques involved in this industry include the collection, sorting, and processing of spent lead-acid accumulators. Specialized facilities use a range of methods, such as mechanical separation, smelting, and chemical treatment, to extract the lead and other valuable materials from the waste batteries. The recovered materials are then reintroduced into the manufacturing process, reducing the need for virgin raw materials.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for this industry are the spent lead-acid accumulators, which are collected from various sources, including automotive repair shops, recycling centers, and industrial facilities. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, sorting, and processing of the waste materials. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also necessary for the various stages of the recycling process.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are the recovered materials, primarily lead, which can be used in the production of new lead-acid batteries or other lead-based products. Other outputs may include plastic, sulfuric acid, and other materials that can be further processed or repurposed. The industry's outputs are often consumed by manufacturers of 8507 (Electric accumulators, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square)) and other related industries.
