<p>MelisaNeubauer7 : </p> <hr /> <div>A national recycling scheme for batteries has made a powerful start, diverting the equivalent of 38 million AA batteries from landfill in its first six months.&lt;br&gt; The B-cycle scheme has doubled the national collection rate of loose batteries and power tool batteries since it began in February, to 16.4 per cent.&lt;br&gt; There's still a long way to go, but it aims to end the disposal of toxic batteries at landfill sites and recover valuable elements that are in limited supply: copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese and the so-called metal of the decade, lithium.&lt;br&gt; Libby Chaplin is the CEO of the industry-led, federal government accredited scheme and says the strong, early start is a win for both the environment and the circular economy.&lt;br&gt; The scheme is focused on making it ultra-convenient for [https://www.yamahamalaga.org/ pkvgames] Australian consumers to recycle batteries and drastically reduce the estimated 90 per cent of batteries that wound up in landfill before the scheme began.&lt;br&gt; So far there's a network of 3200 collection points across all states and territories.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But it's hoped that could swell to more than 30,000 over time.&lt;br&gt; The Battery Stewardship Council runs the scheme, which brings together battery importers, retailers, recyclers, and consumers to create a circular economy for battery materials.&lt;br&gt; Gerry Morvell chairs the council's board and says the process has its challenges.&lt;br&gt; &quot;We recognise this has presented issues for the recycling industry as it scales up and adjusts to a role in product stewardship with its increased focus on transparency and accountability,&quot; he wrote in a report on the scheme's first six months of operation.&lt;br&gt; He said battery use was projected to soar over the next few decades, ramping up pressures on resources, and the need to recycle valuable materials.&lt;br&gt; &quot;This growth is also leading to concerns about the impact of new energy systems on the long-term availability of resources and the economic and environmental impacts of the extraction and use of critical metals and other elements.&lt;br&gt; &quot;The role for product stewardship with its underpinning philosophy of a circular economy has never been greater.&quot;&lt;br&gt; The recycling scheme covers the most common types of household batteries, such as the ones that power remote controls, gaming handsets and fire alarms.&lt;br&gt; Button batteries are also be accepted along with easily removable batteries from larger devices such as cameras, power tools and even e-bikes.&lt;br&gt; Mobile phone and computer batteries are not included because there are other established recycling programs for those.&lt;br&gt; Drop off points, including major retailers, can be found at bcycle.com.au.&lt;br&gt;</div>
