yeah, I wonder if soaking in 90% isopropyl alcohol will count.

I'm okay with removing depleted organic batteries from circulating around brussels.

Joke aside, in some countries removable batteries are forced by law. Yet they are still glued into your devices and no one cares.

Indeed, it's all about enforcment, but EU lately showed it's teeth so it looks promising so far.
