Good luck with your work and just get in touch if we can be…"
Kilien de Renty replied to Kilien de Renty's discussion What are the best practices in terms of battery recycling?"Thanks Kat! Is the PhD already hired? That's excellent news.

Regarding the web-site, I'm sorry you've experienced this problem. I'm sure it is a temporary one. I'll check with the group administrator and I'll let you know.
Regarding the battery technology, using…"

Kilien de Renty replied to Kilien de Renty's discussion What are the best practices in terms of battery recycling?"Thanks Vincenzo, you are right we are going to install PAYG-enabled solar kits in West Africa. You insight is fantastic: in terms of technology it looks like lead-acid is the only one mature enough to be embedded in a responsible waste management…"
Kilien de Renty replied to Kilien de Renty's discussion What are the best practices in terms of battery recycling?"Thank you Martin, very interesting indeed.

In terms of (solar) waste management, there are different aspects (e.g.…"

Martin Theuri replied to Kilien de Renty's discussion What are the best practices in terms of battery recycling?"Hi Kilien,
Battery recycling and/or disposal is an area which no one seems to have best practices for and is a new ground.
I am currently involved in a project whose one key objective is to come up with models on (a) battery take-back mechanism…"
Kat Harrison replied to Kilien de Renty's discussion What are the best practices in terms of battery recycling?"Hi Kilien,
SolarAid/SunnyMoney are working on recycling processes at the moment - very early days and trying to assess what existing practices are in place in different countries and identify solutions so we might be able to offer some…"
