People replacing their own batteries will most likely throw them in the garbage. Not really good for the environment.

- nolok 7y agoBy that weird logic, better their battery than their entire phone battery included. In France any store selling electronic products is mandated by law to accept your used batteries and electronics, and I'm sure most of europe has a similar thing. So this is neither better or worse in any way on that front.

So what do they do with the batteries and electronics afterwards? Do they ship them to a developing country to dismantle and dispose of properly?
- baylisscg 7y agoYeah, its the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. For any item covered by it made after 2005 it's the producer or distributor's responsibility to recycle it.
