Conference Background With the rapid development of global electric vehicles, batteries, as key energy storage devices, are gradually becoming an indispensable part of people's daily lives. However, the production and recycling of batteries have brought serious negative impacts on the environment, such as resource waste and pollution, which are becoming increasingly prominent. To address this challenge, governments, enterprises, and research institutions around the world are intensifying their efforts to promote battery recycling and circular utilization. Global Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Status: Lead-acid batteries have been widely used in fields such as automobiles and UPS, with a relatively high recycling rate. However, due to the harmful substances contained in lead-acid batteries, improper handling can cause serious harm to the environment and human health. Therefore, governments around the world have introduced policies to support the recycling and reuse of lead-acid batteries, while strengthening supervision and encouraging active participation from enterprises and the public. Global Lithium Battery Recycling Status: Compared to lead-acid batteries, the recycling rate of lithium batteries is relatively low, and due to the presence of rare metals and other resources, their value is higher. To promote the circular utilization of lithium batteries, policies on their recycling and reuse are gradually becoming stricter, and related industry chain enterprises are actively researching and developing new recycling technologies and processes to promote the sustainable development of lithium batteries. In this context, the international conference on battery recycling and circular utilization has emerged, aiming to promote global exchange and cooperation in battery recycling and reuse, drive innovation and development of related technologies, jointly address the environmental issues brought by repeated battery use, and contribute to the sustainable development of the clean energy industry. Conference Highlights 01 Supply and Demand Exchange and Cooperation The conference provided a platform for face-to-face networking, allowing enterprises to introduce their core products and main businesses on-site, promoting in-depth understanding among enterprises and the discovery of potential customers. 02 Discussion on Lead and Lithium Battery Recycling Markets To promote sustainable development and build a resource-saving society, strengthen the management and supervision of waste battery recycling, and promote the healthy development of the recycling market, the conference invited recycling industry associations and enterprises to interpret current battery recycling policies and market analysis. 03 Closed-Door Meetings Closed-door meeting on the progress of secondary refined lead delivery, closed-door seminar on power battery recycling 04 Interpretation of Tax Issues One year after the introduction of the reverse invoicing policy and the cancellation of local fiscal tax rebate policies in the battery recycling industry, industry professionals were invited to interpret the policies issued by various regions and provide feedback on the implementation of the recycling market. 05 Domestic and International Market Situation and Macro Analysis The conference invited industry experts to interpret the macro situation at home and abroad, discuss commonalities in the lead and lithium recycling markets, analyze the overseas market for lead ingots, and analyze the feasibility of recycling enterprises going global for investment. 06 Awards and Recognition Establishment of a high-quality recycler selection activity Conference Personnel Structure Previous Attendee List Lead Battery Recycling Enterprises Zhejiang Tianneng Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.

In April, China's Secondary Lead Market faces tight raw material supply and cost pressures. Despite no widespread proactive production cuts among Secondary Lead smelters, potential downstream holiday shutdowns and rising scrap battery prices may force passive output reductions. Lead prices are expected to remain under pressure in the short term.

Narada Power Executive President Gao Xiubing: Data Center Business Orders Are Full, Solid-State Battery Mass Production Cost Expected to Be Below 1 Yuan/Wh. ① This year, the growth of the company's data center business is a new highlight. Currently, the company's domestic orders are full, with a capacity utilization rate exceeding 90%. ② Gao Xiubing stated that it is expected that in another two to three years, the company's solid-state batteries can be used in low-altitude aircraft. ③ With the accelerated layout of computing power center construction, the data center battery products are experiencing explosive growth, both domestically and overseas.

[SMM Announcement] SMM Adds Price Points for Waste Lead-Acid Batteries in Jiangsu Province: Dear Users, In recent years, the secondary lead industry in Jiangsu Province has developed rapidly, with an annual scrap processing capacity exceeding 2 million mt, accounting for approximately 19.5% of the national total. The upstream and downstream enterprises in the lead industry chain have shown significant interest in this development. To help market participants better understand the market trends for waste lead-acid battery recycling, provide pricing and settlement references for enterprises, and reduce transaction risks and costs, SMM has conducted in-depth market surveys and analyses. As a result, SMM plans to add price points for three types of waste lead-acid batteries in Jiangsu Province: Waste Electric Storage (Jiangsu), Waste Black Shell (Jiangsu), and Waste White Shell (Jiangsu), which will be officially implemented on March 14, 2025.

Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment: The lead-acid battery industry in Gaoyou Battery Industrial Park has passed the pilot evaluation of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's clean production audit innovation program—Established in 2011, Gaoyou Battery Industrial Park is located on the eastern side of Gaoyou Economic Development Zone. Based on the transformation and upgrading of existing lead-acid batteries, the park focuses on breakthroughs in the lithium-ion battery industry, fostering the development of new-type batteries such as hydrogen fuel, sodium-ion, and flow batteries, as well as charging equipment. It also supports the comprehensive utilisation of scrap lithium batteries, forming a relatively complete industry chain and aiming to build a nationally renowned ESS battery specialty industrial hub. The park is a specialized industrial base for high-end equipment manufacturing and high-performance batteries in Jiangsu Province, and it is the only professional industrial park in Jiangsu Province themed around the battery industry. Currently, there are 13 producers operating in the park, including 11 engaged in lead-acid battery production, 1 producing lead battery additives, and 1 producing advanced lead-related materials.
