Question

when you throw away a used battery, the chemicals in it may escape and harm the environment. explain why using a rechargeable batteries is less harmful to the environment.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rechargeable batteries can be better for the environment than disposables, but only if they are used to their full potential

When you consider the greenhouse gases generated from manufacturing, rechargeables look better than disposables. We can reuse them, so we don’t need to make as many.

But when you look at other factors, the benefits of rechargeables are less clear. Charging batteries requires energy, and they’re made of toxic materials that can be harmful without proper disposal.

Another variable is human behavior. Just because a battery can be recharged does not mean that it is recharged and reused.

But if it’s used only a few times and thrown away, its impact is worse than a disposable.
