Initiative to Improve Battery Recycling
The chapter discusses the US Department of Energy's new initiative to set up over a thousand consumer battery collection sites at Staples and Battery Plus stores to facilitate the recycling of old cell phones and rechargeable devices. This initiative aims to prevent environmental pollution from toxic chemicals and promote the reuse of valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, reducing the need for new production.
