The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) supplies about 70% of cobalt. The European Union, for example, requires companies to collect batteries at the end of their life and either repurpose them or dismantle them for recycling. This would have a considerable carbon footprint. As batteries improve, they will last longer.
