Paragraph.
After about a decade of quiet, there also recently has been a flurry of battery-related activity on the US state level. Often, the issue arises in the context of broader “product stewardship” legislation applicable to many IBM ThinkPad T43P Battery products, but with used batteries singled out for attention. The most notable proposals include:
• Global warming legislation introduced in Washington State included producer responsibility provisions targeted at rechargeable IBM ThinkPad T61 Battery, among other products. Producers of rechargeable batteries would have been responsible for developing and implementing highly detailed and burdensome product stewardship plans.
• In Oregon, comprehensive rechargeable IBM ThinkPad T60P Battery recycling legislation was introduced that would have required retailers to accept rechargeable batteries and IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery manufacturers to operate the battery collection and recycling program.
• New York legislation that would require reverse distribution collection of used rechargeable IBM ThinkPad T500 Battery . Covered batteries are
defined to include all chemistries of less than 25 pound batteries except vehicle batteries, including wheelchair batteries, and backup power and memory storage batteries. Disposal of covered batteries would be prohibited and retailers and distributors would be required to accept returned IBM ThinkPad T43 T42 T41 T40 R52 R51 R50 T43P T42P T41P T40P R50P R50E R51E Battery and deliver them to a collector, recycling facility or, as a last resort, authorized hazardous waste facility.
