Ensuring economic growth, and industrialization, the environmental problems from LAB and its waste are the emerging threats to public health and the environment in Bangladesh. The environmental policies for waste batteries are lagging behind the growth of the battery industry. The government authorities and environmental researchers have recognized the environmental problems caused by the waste LAB. However, some policies relating to the lead battery industry have been implemented to contribute to the development of the waste battery policy in Bangladesh.
This assessment presents the environmental problems associated with lead and LAB in Bangladesh and evaluates the environmental policies of ULAB recycling and LAB management. Based on the assessment objectives, the study addresses the following major questions:

• What are the environmental problems associated with lead and ULAB in Bangladesh?
• What are the existing policies on LAB and ULAB recycling?
• What policies and regulations could be adopted to strengthen ULAB management?

This report aims to compile relevant information to provide an overview of the current situation of ULAB management in Bangladesh. It also establishes a baseline for regulatory review on LAB recycling.
