Used vape batteries

From the change wiki

Old vapes usually end up in the trash, which is a waste of valuable minerals. Even some "disposable" vapes contain rechargeable batteries.

How much waste is there?

This section has not been filled in yet. Need to put in perspective compared to EVs.

What can be done about it?

  • Re-use
    • Maybe use for small DIY projects such as portable speakers. [new page needed]
    • Maybe gather enough of them together to build an ebike [new page needed] [safety concerns would need to be addressed]
  • Recycling
  • Prevention
    • Maybe tell vape manufacturers not to use rechargeable batteries in disposable vapes? [new page needed]
