China is a major producer and consumer of lead. Compared with the primary lead extracted from ores, the recycled lead obtained from discarded batteries has lower energy consumption, fewer pollutant emissions, and better meets the needs of low-carbon environmental protection in the production process.
On July 7th, at the 17th International Lead and Zinc Summit and International Lead and Zinc Technology Innovation Conference 2022, jointly organized by Shanghai Nonferrous Network Information Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM) and Tianneng Holdings Group Co., Ltd., industry insiders stated that China's recycled lead industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but there are still problems with overcapacity, low profitability, and the need for further improvement in equipment and technology level in the industry.
According to the "14th Five Year Plan for Industrial Green Development" released by the Ministry of Industry and Information in November 2021, during the "14th Five Year Plan" period, China's production scale of recycled lead will continue to expand. It is expected that by 2025, China's recycled refined lead will reach 2.9 million tons, with a total market capacity of about 40 billion yuan.
Lead acid batteries - The development of recycled lead cycle has become the main driving force for the growth of China's recycled lead industry. More than 85% of China's recycled lead raw materials come from waste lead batteries, and more than half of the lead consumed in the lead battery industry comes from recycled lead. In the afternoon forum, Zhang Chunqiang, Executive Vice President of Tianneng Resource Recycling Business Unit, introduced that in 2021, the production capacity of recycled lead enterprises that extended from battery production enterprises to the dismantling of waste lead batteries reached 4.17 million tons/year, accounting for 38.5% of the recycled lead production capacity. The recycled lead industry has begun to develop towards intelligence and scale. Since 2018, the production capacity of new and ongoing projects has mostly exceeded 100000 tons per year, and the concentration of the industry has rapidly increased.
