We have voluntarily eliminated all of the added mercury from our alkaline batteries since the early 1990s .... Therefore, alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste, everywhere [in the U.S.] but California.” 6. Mihelcic et al., 2003; Pollard et al., 2004 7.

dc.description.abstract	Lead-acid batteries are most widely used automobile batteries all over the world. Many waste batteries are thrown away every year. But the fact is that lead is only found in nature and therefore it has limited supply. Also, thrown away lead can cause lead pollution to animals and plants which can be fatal. So, the best option is to recycle the battery. In this research, existing factory process of lead-acid battery recycling are analyzed and a sustainable method is proposed. This research is beneficial to least developed countries where there are not enough recycling factories and recycling cost is higher.	en_US
