HANDLE WITH CARE

摘要

Batteries from consumer electronics are being increasingly regulated because they can be a problematic material in the recycling stream. Experts recently laid out federal rules for transporting lithium-ion batteries destined for recycling or disposal. Lithium-ion batteries are used in a wide variety of products, including cell phones, tablets, computers, e-cigarettes, power tools and more. According to a Portable Rechargeable Battery Association (PRBA) estimate, more than 5.5 billion lithium-ion battery cells are manufactured worldwide per year.
