Sorry, what else is being done about disposable electronics containing lithium cells? Could you recommend a news story (UK specific, preferably) with details of other projects in the context of the OP. Fwiw, I don't doubt that I'm not aware of every environmental project in this space. Thanks.
Most of the world is spending huge effort to decarbonize. May well not be enough, but it's very different from nothing.
I strongly recommend that, wherever you get your news from, try looking somewhere else!!
