Battery Waste Management Authorization

The Battery Management and Handling Rules were adopted in 2001 with the primary purpose of ensuring the safe handling of discarded lead-acid batteries for all holders of stakes. Rules are created to adequately track and document the selling or importation of lead-acid batteries and the recall of used batteries by registered recyclers for their recycling in order to protect the environment. Improper processing and disposal of lead will result in workplace health hazards and environmental effects in the local region. Therefore, ensuring that secondary lead production is done in the facilities licensed by Central or State Pollution Control Boards in an environmentally friendly manner is important. It must be ensured that all the recycled channels are transformed into registered recycling facilities. It is also important to stop the smelting of used lead-acid batteries at the backyard which is rife in the country at present.
