Greencell Battery Concept
“Green Cell is a concept with a single simple idea: use safe, standardized rechargeable batteries in all portable gadgets. The environment would benefit from fewer batteries being thrown away, and you’d need fewer chargers for all your gear. Green Cell batteries would even be made without toxic chemicals, and sold from vending machines that double as recycling points. It’s a staggeringly sensible idea, which might be why it earned third place in the Greener Gadgets competition.” – Gizmodo
I know it’ll be difficult to get the manufacturers to agree to a size, shape, and standard but it’s happened before (AA batteries, for example). Think how much simpler life would be if all our new devices conformed and how much less polution there would be if the next generation could reuse and recycle this way.
