Let's Talk! Lithium-ion Battery Recycling: Engaging the public for safer solutions and a more sustainable world

Lithium-ion batteries hold enormous potential for a fossil-free future. But in order for that potential to be reached, they need to be used responsibly and recycled safely. Solving environmental and safety risks associated with li-ion batteries will require changes in policy and business practices. But with so many li-ion powered technologies in the hands of consumers, individual awareness and behavior change regarding safe and responsible recycling can make significant impacts too. &nbs...
