Batteries
Most modern electrical equipment including mobile phones, computers, cameras and games consoles rely on batteries for their operation. Hence there is an increasing problem of what to do with the mountain of spent batteries generated by these appliances. If not properly treated the chemicals in batteries can leak into the environment posing a serious threat to nature. On the positive side with proper handling and treatment many of the battery components can be successfully recovered and recycled.
