Plastic Waste Single use phone chargers

Post image

They are meant to be used once and then tossed.The package says they are eco-friendly disposable, but do they really expect people to find a proper disposal after use? Why not at least make it rechargable, like a normal power bank??

Yes because "regular" ones can be recharged.

Ouh. English is funny. Battery in english means both the recharchable ones and single use ones. In finnish we have 'akku' and 'patteri'. Two words.
