Collective Action Against Lead: New Initiative to Improve ULAB Recycling Practices in Indonesia

More than 575,000 tons of used lead-acid batteries (ULABs) are generated every year in Indonesia. Unfortunately, most of them are recycled in informal facilities that lack emission controls, waste management systems, or worker protections. These processes are often carried out in residential areas, contaminating the air, soil, and water, and putting nearby communities, especially children, at high risk of lead exposure. In June 2025, Pure Earth, in collaboration with the Basel and Stockholm Convention Regional Center for Southeast Asia (BSCRC-SEA) and with support from the Ministry of Environment, launched ‘Mitigating Lead Exposure in Indonesia by Supporting Environmentally Sound Practices of ULAB Recycling’ project as a concrete step to address the issue. Through this project, Pure Earth seeks to address the issue of ULAB management in Indonesia by working with the government, partners, industry, and relevant stakeholders to strengthen policies, build local capacity, raise public awareness, and align national practices with the latest Basel Convention Technical Guidelines.
