The document discusses a technical study conducted in St. Lucia to develop a sustainable system for managing used lead acid batteries. It analyzes the current practices through surveys of companies handling the batteries. Key findings include: 1) Batteries are disposed of improperly
When does a lead-acid battery become a spent lead-acid battery? When a LAB can no longer be able to be recharged and retain the charge applied its lifetime reaches its end and becomes "spent" as it is no longer useful for the application for which it was designed. This is mainly caused by a process known as sulphation and this begins when lead sulphate (PbSO 4) precipitates

Lead acid battery and LFP provide the worst and best environmental performance, respectively. The use phase of production is most detrimental. Low recycling rates leads to negative environmental impacts. Anthropogenic activities in the plant negatively affects the soil, groundwater, food crops, living organisms and health of workers.
Health risks associated with water and metal pollution during battery manufacturing and disposal are also addressed. The presented assessment of the impact spectrum of batteries places green practices at the forefront of solutions that elevate the sustainability of battery production, usages, and disposal. 1. Introduction
The different types of batteries are introduced. The role of batteries in achieving global decarbonization goals have been presented. The presence of batteries in marine and aviation industries has been highlighted. The risks imposed by batteries on human health and the surrounding environment have been discussed.
Results showed that amongst the 4 batteries namely lead acid batteries, NCM, lithium manganese oxide (LMO), and LFP, the lead acid battery and LFP provide the worst and best environmental performance, respectively.
Some of the most used batteries for maritime transportation are Leclanche, alkaline, mercury, magnesium, lithium-based, lead acid, and sodium sulfur batteries (Verma and Kumar, 2021).
The concept of SLB allows the reduction in new battery production which contributes to lowering the total environmental impact of the battery manufacturing industry, and provides a gateway for further utilizing EV batteries after they are no longer suitable for that specific application.
