rate of lead–acid battery exports from China, which declined at a stable rate after 2016. In 2018, the lead–acid battery export volume for China reached 190.23 million, whereas the import volume was only 10.94 million [16, 17]. This high-trade decit is one of the major causes of the relatively low lead-recycling rate in China.
