Failure to do so will result in: (1) low return efficiency leading to higher burdens on the environment since more batteries will be landfilled; (2) higher environmental impacts resulting from inefficiencies in the battery collection infrastructure (e.g. energy consumption and emissions from the transport of batteries and lack of economies of scale to control them).

Fact is that NiMH batteries cannot be recharged as many times as NiCd batteries, but the capacity of NiMH is higher, so the lifetime capacity is similar to that of NiCd batteries.
