The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will allocate $14 million to enhance consumer battery recycling. Under this initiative, office supply retailer Staples and battery retailer Batteries Plus will each receive $7 million to install recycling containers in their stores. This move will establish over 1,000 new drop-off locations nationwide, allowing consumers to dispose of old batteries and battery-containing devices, thereby reducing e-waste.
The DOE stated that recycling these batteries will provide essential materials for manufacturing new batteries and other electronic products like cell phones, laptops, and smartwatches.
