Living Green - Episode 105 - Recycling Batteries

The video discusses the disposal of batteries into landfill sites and introduces a new recycling scheme in response to the 2008 European directive.

The initiative aims to prevent 51 million batteries from reaching landfills, reducing environmental waste.

How many million batteries does the scheme hope to eliminate from landfill sites?

What impact is expected from cutting down on battery waste being released into the environment?
