Interesting. The biggest issue I would imagine is getting people to understand where and how to dispose of their electronics waste. While dedicated waste streams are likely more unit efficient, throwing away Li batteries is an infrequent enough event for most people that they probably won’t think of it or remember when the need arises. It would be interesting to see if it was possible to identify and separate Lithium batteries from general single stream waste or recycling.
