Context: in some eletronics batteries are very difficult to replace or remove within disassembly/recycling processes.
Details:
What are the main technologies/practices to recycle batteries of these kinds of products and what are their main economic and environmental challenges?
Dear Ilaria,
We have wrote a subsection on similar issues in my article (Singh et. al.) recently published in 'Waste Management and Research' The name of the subsection is "Increasing complexity of product composition and variety in the production and consumption systems". This subsection also contains some good references which be helpful for your question.
In the same issue where our article was published, there was another article by Andreas Bartl which you also might find helpful. The links to both the articles are attached in this reply.
All the best,
Jagdeep Singh

Dear all,
I warmly thank you for your contributions.
I'll make a plea to you or other researchers in this field to address one point of my question specifically, that was "What are the main technologies/practices to recycle (or separate) batteries of these kind?" (I mean batteries deeply integrated to products like those one in some smartphones or toys).
Thank you.
