Really wonder what's the original source of this text.

Anyway, battery recycling really isn't anything new. There are quite a number of companies in Europe who are focusing on battery recycling. That being said, it is of course a good thing that the main manufacturing country of new batteries pushes exchanges between the involved parties. Let's hope this results in batteries which are even better to recycle.

Either way, new coal generators are more efficient than old ones, so still, China is becoming greener.

They get ~55% of their energy needs from coal, but are also by far the biggest producer of energy from wind, sun and biomass.
