Lead Battery 360°
The Program
Lead Battery 360° is a global initiative to promote and recognise good practices in lead battery value chains, from lead mining through to lead battery manufacturing and recycling.
ABOUT US
A Global Alliance
Lead Battery 360° is a global programme established by four associations representing the lead and lead battery industries – the International Lead Association (ILA), Battery Council International (BCI), the Association of European Automotive and Industrial Battery Manufacturers (EUROBAT) and the Association of Battery Recyclers (ABR) – to unlock the power of lead batteries for a sustainable future. Lead Battery 360° champions best practices in lead mining, lead production, lead battery manufacturing and recycling, and by encouraging responsible practices along the entire battery value chain through supply chain management and product stewardship.
the programme
Participants in our programme commit to a set of Guiding Principles which set the global benchmark for lead and lead battery stewardship and responsible supply chain management. Participants also contribute to Impact Projects to help tackle substandard lead battery recycling, build capacity, and promote continuous improvement worldwide.
Industry Guidelines
As part of the Lead Battery 360° program we aim to promulgate a better understanding of what constitutes responsible lead battery manufacturing and recycling. Over the years we have developed guidelines and tools to allow stakeholders to get a fundamental understanding of the key principles required to recycle lead batteries in a manner that avoids environmental pollution and adverse health impacts. The guidelines and tools have been shown to be particularly effective in improving practices in regions where informal or basic lead battery recycling facilities are prevalent.
Impact Projects
For more than two decades, we have worked in 40 low and middle-income countries, advising governments, communities and companies on best practice lead battery recycling methods to help improve standards at plants and protect communities.

Our Resources
Through advocacy and engagement, we reinforce the key role of lead in the global economy, demonstrating the importance and value of lead and lead-based products, promoting proportionate legislation and regulation in discussion with policymakers, and building awareness of the essential role of lead batteries in delivering a sustainable future.
We also support knowledge-sharing initiatives in low and middle-income countries to help raise standards for battery recycling and eliminate harmful environmental and safety practices in those countries.
