EU battery increasing environmental threshold
Reporter yesterday from the city of WTO / TBT Inquiry Center that spent gd761 batteries to reduce the release of harmful substances impact on the environment, most recently, the European Union once again revised the batteries and battery, as well as batteries and battery waste directive. Prior to this, the EU has issued three directives, the threshold of the increasing battery of environmental protection.
The specific content of the draft directive are: to prohibit the sale of the mercury content of more than five ten thousandths of the total weight of the product (button-shaped batteries and battery, except); to prohibit the sale of mercury content above 2% accounted for the weight of the button-shaped batteries, and with this type of battery electrical
Browser; to prohibit the sale of more than a fraction of cadmium over the button-shaped, such as batteries and battery. In the mark, the directive will require Member States to ensure that all batteries and inspiron 1501 battery must be properly marked with the recovery. According to industry analysis, the command will be the trend of the times passed. Final approval is expected in the second quarter of this year, the EU Member States after the entry into force in command of the legislation within 24 months.
The city is an important production base of the battery, battery manufacturers have. In 2005, the original battery in our city a total of 159.13 million U.S. dollars export. It was introduced by the European Union "batteries directive" has a direct impact on the battery lead-acid batteries, nickel cadmium batteries and a battery of common zinc-manganese batteries, indirectly affected, including almost all the cell line.
According to chief engineer in the high-silver Battery Co., Ltd. introduced a soldier alone in terms of mercury content, our products fully meet EU requirements. However, to control the content of cadmium and lead have a greater degree of difficulty. In particular, some ordinary dry-cell batteries for export-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises, to make products that target must be to choose a new material or technology development, which will be spending a small fortune. In his view, the real impact on the export of Ningbo batteries battery recycling or waste problem.
The spread of electric vehicle battery waste pollution potential importance to the disposal of primers
In recent years, electric vehicles for its lightweight, economic and other characteristics favored by the public. Recently, reporters found that with the Weifang City, the number of electric cars, the recycling of used lead-acid inspiron 6400 battery, inspiron e1505, latitude 131l management has become a "blind spot", the threat posed to the environment need attention.
Alarming number of end-of-life battery
The morning of March 7, this reporter went to the people's livelihood Street and the east section of the road junction, where the road on both sides of the distribution of the electric car more than 20 food outlets. According to industry analysis, only the business section of the electric vehicles sold per month on more than 500, as the city's monthly sales in all markets, not a small figure. Lead-acid batteries for electric cars is the consumables, brand batteries generally use 1-2 years to be replaced, a number of "non-brand-jun" battery life is only about halfway. To the end-of-life period, it is faced with a large number of lead-acid batteries to deal with. The only way to handle the user two ways: First, lead-acid batteries will be thrown away as waste or sold, Then to a number of electric cars dealers, where "TM."
Environmental protection awareness among the public
According to health experts, lead-acid battery scrap acid contains high levels of lead, not only a serious indiscriminate discharge of contaminated soil and water, the environment, damage the ecological balance, but also lead to human metabolism, such as reproductive and neurological disorders, severe threat to human health. However, the problem of lack of clear understanding. During the interview, the reporter has to inspect the distribution of electric vehicles more than a dozen stores, found that product brochures and promotional materials does not involve pollution and waste battery recycling. One dealer explained to reporters, after the end-of-life value of lead-acid battery recycling is not only sold waste collection. In view of this, waste collection for check battery and random dumping of lead-acid metal solution, not surprising that cause environmental pollution.
There are difficult to implement the rules
According to state, "Solid Waste Pollution Prevention Law," hazardous waste unit, shall be responsible for hazardous waste collection, storage and processing. However, a number of electric vehicle manufacturers in other provinces, and dealers are points wide, it is difficult to achieve effective monitoring. During the interview, an electric car dealer, said to reporters that producers of waste batteries-367759-001 battery, hstnn-ib 09 battery, hp pavilion dv1000 battery sent to dangerous goods carried out in accordance with the charges, and manufacturer so they do not recover, and sometimes through the "TM" the name of recycling, only In order to promote the new batteries, used batteries are not shipped back to manufacturers to deal with. Some experts said: the popularity of electric vehicles is a matter for the last few years, the disposal of waste batteries, as well as the resulting environmental problems, caused by the relevant departments should pay great attention to.
