Environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries must be handled with extreme care from when they''re created, to being transported, to being recycled. Recycling is extremely vital to limiting the environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries. By recycling the batteries, emissions and energy consumption can be reduced as less lithium would need to be mined and processed.
