Evidently it is not priced high enough (yet). If the batteries have some life left, repurposing them for "static" usage such as solar, grid buffer and similar makes a lot of sense, well before attempting to recover the lithium. AF

To be fair, there were some USB sticks (that did not have much success) by PNY that had a (clever) open/close mechanism that made it into a rectangular shape with a paper label on one side where you could write (only 2 lines). The case

Yes, fiberglass won't stick well to polypropilene. It is however possible to do this kind of repair with fiberglass if you drill a few holes just over and under the crack. The resin will get into the holes and keep the inner and outer

Usually it won't last much unless you weld it with some added material (that needs to be the same thermoplastic or it likely won't stick). What I found exceptional for this kind of small plastic repair is one of those welding guns

In Italy it is 2,000 Euro, the current governement proposal is to raise it to 5,000 and there was a lot of debates about it (according to previous measures it should have become 1,000 Euro in 2023). Germany - I believe - has no set limit, G

Yes and no. No doubts about "traditional" wood elements (beams and the like) made from trees, they show quite good fire resistance, basically when on fire an outer shell of carbonized material forms and acts as a insulating layer
