Lead cannot be recycled. Once lead is used to its capacity, it cannot be used for other purposes. For example, lead batteries can only be used until the battery dies, then the battery falls under the category of Hazardous Materials.

What part of a lead-acid battery can't be recycled?

hough the lead plates in a ULAB have been exhausted, this does not mean that the lead within the battery cannot be reused. In fact, most new lead-acid batteries contain up to 80% recycled, purified lead - making recycled lead a very valuable material.48 Because of the success of recycled lead, the market for extracting and reselling used lead has grown substantially, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Though high-income countries have developed safe and effective processes for the reclamation of lead from ULABs, the recycling process that occurs throughout much of the rest of the world is far less developed and regulated.

What is difference between recycled an non recycled inventories?

Recycled inventories refer to materials that have been processed and repurposed for new uses, reducing waste and the need for virgin resources. Non-recycled inventories consist of raw materials or products that have not undergone any recycling process and are typically sourced from natural resources. The main difference lies in their environmental impact, with recycled inventories contributing to sustainability efforts by minimizing waste, while non-recycled inventories can lead to greater resource depletion and environmental strain. Additionally, recycled materials often require different processing and handling compared to their non-recycled counterparts.
