Environmental concerns and recycling[edit] Since Li-ion batteries contain less toxic metals than other types of batteries which may contain lead or cadmium[54] they are generally categorized as non-hazardous waste. Li-ion battery elements including iron, copper, nickel and cobalt are considered safe for incinerators and landfills. These metals can be recycled.,[131][132] but mining generally remains cheaper than recycling.[133] At present, not much is invested into recycling Li-ion batteries due to costs, complexities and low yield. The most expensive metal involved in the construction of the cell is cobalt. Lithium iron phosphate is cheaper but has other drawbacks. Lithium is less expensive than other metals used, but recycling could prevent a future shortage.[131] The manufacturing processes of nickel and cobalt for the positive electrode and also the solvent, present potential environmental and health hazards kaip suprantu, recyclingas neaktualus... o ir istekliu iki 2100 metu turetu uztekti, anot vikipedijos. -- t.
