The Unintended Consequences of Global Emission Reductions and Challenges in Battery Recycling

This chapter discusses the unintended consequences of global efforts to reduce emissions and the challenges of recycling rechargeable EV batteries, including the lack of consistency in their production and the exploitation of people in developing countries involved in recycling. It also explores the issue of waste from modern countries being sent to other parts of the world, resulting in toxic poisons being released into the local atmosphere.
