On March 28, Qiu Qiwen, Director of the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals, Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), said that China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of lead-acid batteries. In order to further improve the prevention and control of waste lead-acid battery pollution, MEE jointly issued the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Waste Lead-acid Battery Pollution, and carried out the pilot work of centralized collection and trans-regional transportation system for lead-acid battery manufacturers. At the same time, the illegal collection and disposal of waste lead-acid batteries will be severely cracked down. In addition, in conjunction with relevant departments such as the Ministry of Public Security, we will focus on cracking down on illegal collection and dismantling of waste lead-acid batteries and indigenous lead smelting.
