This is the kind of information you will need to spend time researching to track down. Have you tried searching for statistical information on battery waste online?

You can find some background information on this issue here:

Hi,
A good way to find out the answer to your problem is to ask. If there is an electrician, technician, or anyone that works with electricity near you, you should go ask them. Even the school technician could answer! They are required to keep up with the world's status on electricity, batteries, and things like that (my aunt does that, so I know).
Good luck!
:)

To answer the question I think you are asking about battery waste, I do not know. Are you referring to the by products of manufacturing the battery, throwing away a batter when it is only partially used, or the battery when it is dead?


Two comments:

Good science requires proper language that is clear and simple. Cryptic expressions such as "..if u won't mind, pls answer.really" and "do u know" is just not good enough in the scientific world. Spell out each word, use proper grammar, and put the periods and commas in the right places.

I have been an engineer since 1972 and I am a strong witness to the need for exacting language when describing technical topics.

Regarding the statement, "Don't marry someone you can live with; marry someone you cannot live without." It is absolutely true. I met my wife in 1966, married her in 1973, and lost her to illness in 2009; living without her is the hardest thing I have ever done.
