    Are lithium batteries getting recycled? Because there are millions of pounds of disposable vapes that just get fuckin yote directly into a landfill. Then they crack and leak PFAS into the ground water.

      Large car batteries can become second life static energy storage before being completely recycled .

      This is one of those instances where capitalism helps us out - there’s money to be made in old batteries.

      Single use vapes are pretty damn disgusting all around TBH.

      So we should continue mining single-use hydrocarbons because disposable vapes exist?
