Improper disposal poses risks such as soil and water contamination. Spent lithium-ion batteries contain hazardous materials like lead, cadmium, and mercury, which, if not properly disposed of, can leach into soil and water, causing significant ecological harm. Recycling reduces the need for new material extraction.
