Obviously there other products besides batteries that contain lead. Some

Some others that are infamous from news reports are cheap imported toys and
jewelry. Cosmetics have been found with lead in them. There was an
infamous case a dozen or so years ago in which Chinese suppliers were caught
dumping lead into whole fish they exported, to increase the weight and get
more money for them.
How much of that 26% goes into these non-battery products? If you answered
that question, I missed it.
An awful lot of lead still goes into electronics manufacturing. Sure, a
lot is RoHS, but a lot is also exempt from RoHS for technical reasons.
