11 What is the Benchmarking Tool for the Recovery and Recycling of ULAB? It is all very well having Guidelines for the recovery of Used Lead Acid Batteries (ULAB), Standards for Safety, Occupational Health and Environmental Performance, and commitments to Sustainable Development, but without independent inspection, monitoring, evaluation and verification, there is no guarantee of conformance with Good Practice or compliance with prevailing legislation. But it is equally important that any monitoring tool provides a comprehensive and easy to use evaluation process that is consistent with the International Lead Association s (ILA) Guidance Notes, the Basel Convention Technical Guidelines, and Indian national and regional legislation and includes safety, hygiene & sustainability. The Benchmarking Form is a questionnaire and it was designed this way to ensure the questions provide a consistent approach to each assessment and it also means that the Benchmarking Assessment can be made without being an expert in the Technical Guidelines or the Best Practice for ULAB recycling. The questions are also designed so that conformance with good practice or nonconformance can be identified depending on whether the ticks are in the green zones. The Benchmarking Tool is suitable for the Assessment of Environmental Performance of any phase in the Life Cycle of the Lead Acid Battery from the Mining of Lead Bearing Ore, through Smelting, Lead Refining, Battery Manufacture, Retailing, Used Lead Acid Battery (ULAB) Recovery and Recycling, but for our purposes today we will focus on ULAB recovery and recycling. 6

25 Comparison between Regulatory Inspection and the ESM Assessment Tool First let me say that it is a requisite of any Assessment Process that a Company, a Site, a Factory, a Mine or a collection centre, complies with all the regional, national regulatory requirements and international conventions that are applicable. So Site inspections by Government Environmental, Health and Safety Agencies are an essential and integral part of the ESM Process for ULAB recovery. Having said that; it is important for us to look at the differences between a Regulatory Inspection by a Government Agency and an Inspection using the Benchmarking Assessment Tool. First, the Regulatory Inspection will specifically target one particular aspect of the operation, such as Lead Emissions, Lead in Blood levels of the workers, Effluent Discharge or Hazardous Waste Disposal, whereas the Benchmarking ESM Assessment Tool is Holistic in its approach and examines the whole recovery process in order to ensure that there are the minimum of environmental and health impacts during the recovery phases including collection, temporary storage, packaging and transport. Secondly, a Regulatory Inspection will normally be made at one location, whereas a Benchmarking Assessment will inspect a number of locations associated with the ULAB recovery chain to ensure a consistent approach to ESM during each recovery phase or link in the supply chain. The regulators will take emission and discharge samples for quantitative analysis to determine environmental performance, whereas the Benchmark assessment will be qualitative by observing the recycling operations and the methodologies employed. And finally, the Regulatory Inspection is reactive, because it is sampling, checking or observing outcomes and past events, whereas the Benchmarking Tool and process directs you towards prevention and a pro-active approach to ESM by examining the process components, the operations and the control measures. 20

29 Comparison Case Study These are the questions that you should be asking yourselves as you conduct any assessment: Is this an acceptable practice? How would the Government monitor that situation? Is this operation necessary and if not, why not? What would you suggest to improve the working conditions or the environmental performance? 22
30 Benchmarks for ULAB Recycling The Benchmarks for the determination of Environmental Performance at the various stages in the Lead Acid Battery Life Cycle are: ULAB collection Temporary Storage Packaging Transportation Recycling Having identified the five key phases in the recovery and recycling process for ULAB, it is very important to base the Benchmarks for each phase on procedures, processes and methodologies that have a proven track record for sound environmental management, occupational health and safety. 23
31 Benchmarks for ULAB Recycling ULAB Collection So now we will examine the benchmarking criteria in more detail. Starting with ULAB Collection, it is essential that: 1. Whole ULAB are collected Not drained of electrolyte 2. ULAB are stacked upright with inspection caps in place to prevent spillage 3. There are separate plastic container for any leaking ULAB 4. Operators wear their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Rubber gloves and safety footwear as a minimum 24

52 Benchmarks for ULAB Recycling Packaging Packing can be undertaking in the Temporary Storage Areas, or a retail outlet, but wherever it is undertaken the Benchmarks are the same: 1. ULAB are sized and sorted by type so that when they are palletized the rows of ULAB are even and the pallets can be stacked safely 2. ULAB are tested to determine of they are discharged and spent, if not they should be recharged and sold as a recharged battery. Under NO circumstances should a ULAB be reconditioned that is put back into service with cells cannibalized from another ULAB. 3. Palletized in neat rows with thick cardboard, to absorb any minor leakage of electrolyte, placed between each layer of ULAB 4. Shrink wrapped with plastic film and strapped on all 4 sides with heavy duty plastic strapping to hold the ULAB in place without any movement during transport to the smelter. 38

ULAB are sized and sorted by type so that when they are palletized the rows of ULAB are even and the pallets can be stacked safely 2. ULAB are tested to determine of they are discharged and spent, if not they should be recharged and sold as a recharged battery. Under NO circumstances should a ULAB be reconditioned that is put back into service with cells cannibalized from another ULAB. 3. Palletized in neat rows with thick cardboard, to absorb any minor leakage of electrolyte, placed between each layer of ULAB 4.

70 Benchmarks for ULAB Recycling Transportation Because the transportation of ULAB is normally on public roads proper management of ULAB is very important. The key benchmarks are; 1. In many countries ULABs are classified as a Hazardous Waste, as they are under the Basel Convention, and so Companies that transport ULAB from the collection centres or retailers to the recycling plants require a license or an authorisation from the local authority. So please check the situation in the various locations in India. 2. ULAB are palletized, shrink wrapped and strapped securely to the pallet, or are in a plastic purpose built leak-proof container, suitably braced and wedged into the back of the vehicle to prevent any movement during the delivery run to the smelter. 3. In countries where ULABs are classified as a Hazardous Waste, vehicles transporting such materials must display the appropriate Hazard warning signs externally on the vehicle, and where this is not a legal requirement, a suitable sign should be displayed so that emergency services are notified of the contents in the event of an accident. 4. Finally it is important that the vehicle transporting the ULAB is suitable for the task, preferably enclosed or high sided with drop down sides and that the driver is trained to deal with any minor spillages during transit or apply first aid if anyone is splashed with electrolyte. 47
