used battery collection and recycling

[...]... how to finance collection and recycling programs to improve returns, how to label batteries to maximize collection, and how to measure recycling rates With NiMH and Li-ion batteries, the issues are developing the recycling technologies to improve materials recovery With the alkaline manganese and carbon zinc batteries, the questions revolve more around the economics of the collection and recovery processes...
