Who pays for the recycling of batteries? Participating countries impose their own rules in making recycling feasible. In North America, some recycling plants bill on weight. The rates vary according to chemistry. Systems that yield high metal retrieval rates are priced lower than those, which produce less valuable metals. Nickel-metal-hydride yields the best return. It produces enough nickel to pay for the process. The highest recycling fees apply to nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion because the demand for cadmium is low and lithium-ion contains little retrievable metal. batteryuniversity.com And btw, I'm not the only one suggesting that Li-Ion is "not ready for prime time". The DOE is basically saying the same thing: altenergystocks.com seekingalpha.com Make sure you know what you're drinking before you dip into the punch bowl..
