About the CBA

• History• Organized in 1970 by CDN battery manufacturers;• Federally Registered Not-for-Profit Industry Association;• Industry Focus – Not just a Stewardship Agency;

• Members / Stewards• Manufacturers: Exide / GNB Power; Crown Battery; EnerSys; C&D

Technologies; Johnson Controls; East Penn;• National Distributors: Canadian Energy; Magnacharge; Interstate,

Eaton Power; Thomas & Betts; Dell; GM – AC Delco;• Provincial Distributors: Prairie Battery, The Battery Man,

Motive• Provincial Recyclers: Urbanmine

Regulatory Framework

• Lead is Toxic and Acid is Corrosive! Batteries are:• Dangerous Good - Federal TDG;

• Hazardous Waste - Environment Canada – Export and Interprovincial;

• Hazardous Waste - Provincial Regulations – Storage, Carrier, Transport

• Worker Health & Safety – Lead exposure

• Increasing “Product Stewardship” Regulations:• Manitoba, British Columbia & 3 Maritime Provinces already implemented

• Our Goal is Stewardship of all Lead-Acid Batteries from Coast to Coast to Coast• Safe Collection, Storage and Transportation

of all Lead-Acid Batteries

Manitoba’s Stewardship Plan

• CBA has an Approved Stewardship Plan since 2011;

• Minister’s 2018 Approval Letter:• Emphasis on expanding Access of CBA’s Stewardship Program to:

• First Nation Communities;

• Rural Communities;

• Remote Communities.

• Accessibility - CBA is primarily a Return-to-Retail Program;

• Communities >30,000: 100% of Population less than <5km to RCF;

• Communities >4,000: 85% of Population less than <10km to RCF;

• Communities <4,000: 46% of Population greater than >10km to RCF.

Rural Accessibility

• Why is this important:

• Minister set Accessibility as a Priority in Approval

• Rural communities have more DIYS people;

• Remote communities have huge logistical challenges – but they are doing it:• Winter roads;

• Long distances;

• Narrow windows of opportunity

CBA’s Stewardship Program

• Accessibility: 87 Return Collection Facilities

• Recovery Rates: 99.3% in 2017

• 6,100,000 kg sold in 2017;

• 6,000,000 kg recovered in 2017.

• 100,000 kg not recovered.

• Over-Simplification, but . . . .

We Know Batteries are not Recycled

1. Convenience

2. Value

We Know Batteries are not Recycled

3. Logistics

• Huge distances;

• Winter roads;

• Limited transportation.

We Know Batteries are not Recycled

Despite Those Challenges

• Your Doing It!

Must Ensure Compliance• Federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods:

• Shippers (Consignors) must be Certified to TDG;

• Shipments must conform to TDG (placards, emergency response, training etc.)

• MB’s Hazardous Waste Regulation

• Generator Registration required - MBG#

• Transportation manifests required for shipments of waste lead batteries

Path Forward – CBA

• The CBA can help with:• Compliance to Federal Provincial Regulations:

• Federal TDG Training and Certification for Consignors (shippers);

• Support through Indigenous Services Canada;

• Provincial Hazardous Waste Approvals;

• Coordination with other Stewardship Programs:

• Tires, Electronics, Used Oil, Product Care etc.,

• Partnerships with Reputable Companies:

• Proper Shipping Containers and Methods;

• Insured Carriers and Proper Shipping Documents;

• Fair Pricing.

Path Forward – Rural Communities• Ban Lead-Acid Batteries from Landfill!

• Stockpile Batteries in Safe Location;

• Register with Canadian Battery Association:• Simple, Free and Regulatory Support

• Free Supervisor and Employee TDG Training;• TDG Certification; TDG Manual; 1-833-216-3664 for questions.

• Partner with Reputable Winnipeg Battery Distributor:

• East Penn Canada;• Exide Technologies;• Magnacharge;• The Battery Man.

• Canadian Energy; • Prairie Battery;• Interstate Battery;

• Randy Anderson, Canadian Energy

• Iain Fudge and Randy Anderson, Canadian Energy

• Canadian Energy Truck Outside – Proper Transport by:• Battery Box – shorter distances and smaller volumes;

• On Pallets – longer distances and larger volumes.

• Each community will have their own solution.

Why Collect & Return Scrap Batteries

Monetary Value

Reduces contaminates in environment

➢Lead & arsenic in ground water

➢Injuries from Sulphuric acid

Reduces reliance on Raw Materials

It’s the Right Thing To Do!

Shipping Used Batteries

• Hazardous Material

• Transport Canada Regulated

• Transportation of Dangerous Goods

Regulation

Pallets

Sturdy with 3 bottom boards

44” X 48” maximum size

No nails exposed

No broken boards

Pallets

Honeycomb or Cardboard

• Prevents batteries

from being punctured

• Placed in between

layers of batteries

• Use multiple layers if

using cardboard

• Must be protected

from getting wet

Stacking Batteries

1 layer of cardboard between pallet and

batteries

Stack batteries tight together

Batteries of same height on bottom layer

Broken or leaking batteries must be bagged

Maximum 2 layers high

Stacking Batteries

Acceptable Too Loose

Shrink Wrap

Turn wrap sideways for rope effect on each

layer

Pull & stretch the wrap at corners to make tight

Tension on layers to hold together

Wrap 2 - 3 inches above top layer

Wrap 2 inches below bottom layer to secure on

pallet

Protect pallets from getting wet

Label Wrapped Skids

4” x 4” Class 8 Label (4 sides)

Overpack label (2 sides)

Wrapped & Ready to Ship
