Market Challenges: Volatile Prices of Virgin or Mined Lead

One of the main challenges faced by recycled lead market is the volatile prices of virgin or mined lead. As primary lead production increases due to new mining activities, the prices of freshly mined lead decrease, making it difficult for recycled lead to compete based on cost. While demand for lead from industries such as battery manufacturing is high, collecting used lead from end-of-life products and setting up efficient recycling operations requires significant investment. Strict environmental regulations around recycling and disposal of toxic lead waste also increase operating expenses.
