Compliant Disposal Process for Used Forklift Batteries

As the adoption of electric forklifts continues to rise across industrial logistics, manufacturing and warehousing sectors, the proper and compliant disposal of used forklift batteries has become a core requirement for enterprises to meet environmental regulatory standards and avoid unnecessary operational risks. A standardized full-process disposal mechanism can effectively prevent toxic substances inside the waste batteries from leaking into soil and water, and maximize the recycling value of recyclable materials at the same time. The first step of the compliant disposal process is on-site inventory and classification. Relevant personnel need to first sort out all decommissioned forklift batteries, distinguish between lead-acid power batteries and lithium-ion power batteries according to their inherent attributes, and make complete records of the specification, residual capacity and decommission time of each battery to form a traceable archive. It is worth noting that the used batteries cannot be randomly stacked in open areas or mixed with other domestic waste, and they need to be placed in special sealed anti-corrosion containers for temporary storage, to avoid accidental damage to the battery shell that causes leakage of internal substances. The second step is standardized transfer. The temporary stored waste batteries need to be handed over to qualified transport entities with corresponding environmental protection operation qualifications, and all transfer information must be submitted to the local environmental regulatory department for record in advance, to ensure that the whole transport process does not occur out-of-control situations such as scattering, leakage or loss. Many industry practitioners who use BYD Forklift products have reported that following such standardized transfer rules can effectively help them pass regular environmental audits smoothly. The third step is professional harmless treatment and resource recovery. After the waste batteries are delivered to the designated professional processing base, the relevant technical team will carry out disassembly, classification and extraction operations in strict accordance with national environmental protection standards, extract reusable metal raw materials and other available components, and carry out harmless treatment for the residual harmful substances that cannot be recycled, to ensure that the discharge of all links fully meets the regulatory requirements. Jianshu New Energy, as a professional service provider focusing on the field of new energy battery recycling and disposal, can provide enterprises with full-process compliant disposal solutions covering the whole links of inventory, classification, transfer and treatment.
