There is a long way to go to perfect the Recycling system of recycled lead in Environmental Protection restriction Industry

Published: Aug 7, 2019 14:06

SMM8 month 7: August 6, Henan key lead enterprise development forum was held in Luoyang Yongning Nonferrous Technology Co., Ltd. The meeting introduced the opportunities and challenges facing China's lead industry, and focused on the analysis of the hot environmental protection issues encountered in the current industry.

In the absence of advanced and mature technical conditions, frequent changes in environmental protection standards not only aggravate the repeated investment of enterprises, increase the operating costs of enterprises, but also not conducive to the stable operation of enterprises. Today, with the stable output of primary lead and the rapid development of recycled lead production, the construction of waste battery recovery system in recycled lead enterprises is seriously restricted, and the recycling system needs to be further revised and improved. The industry needs a fair competitive environment to maintain the healthy development of the upper and lower reaches of the industrial chain. The meeting held that strengthening environmental governance and creating a better ecological environment is the responsibility and obligation of enterprises, but increasingly stringent environmental protection standards have become the bottleneck of the development of the industry. After the environmental protection transformation reaches the standard, the new problems (waste water, waste residue, equipment corrosion aging) can not be ignored, and there is an urgent need for new and advanced technology to follow up and solve them. In addition, the meeting also discussed the revision of the list of hazardous wastes, environmental taxes, group standards, production restrictions on off-peak production, and the operation situation of the lead industry.

Pre-holiday stockpiling by downstream enterprises had largely concluded, and a few had already entered the holiday period, completely suspending procurement. Next week, secondary lead smelters will enter a concentrated wave of production halts and holidays, resulting in sluggish trading activity in the spot market. Offers for spot refined lead orders were sparse, with prices moving in line with the market.

The domestic secondary crude lead market experienced sluggish transactions. As of February 6, 2026, the ex-factory tax-exclusive offers for domestic secondary crude lead stood at 15,250-15,400 yuan/mt. Downstream refined lead and alloy smelters gradually entered the holiday period, showing weak stockpiling willingness. Overseas lead ingot suppliers basically halted transactions with China due to poor consumption in the Chinese market, with only some previously concluded shipments maintaining normal in-transit transportation. The trading atmosphere in the secondary crude lead market will continue to weaken next week.
