Upgrading the Lead-acid Battery Recycling Sector in the African Region

Used Lead Acid Battery Recycling is one of the leading causes of lead poisoning in Africa, causing grave impacts on human health and environment. Countries in East and West Africa are taking steps to address this problem, but the road is long and much can be learnt from each other.

We invite stakeholders from industry, civil society, governments and academia to join us and learn about latest developments in Nigeria and the wider African region. This first ever regional conference on the topic will provide a forum for exchange on good practices, policy approaches and necessary next steps to substantially reduce lead exposure from unsound battery recycling.
