Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

Re concern about Li battery life and re-use.
What if we all agreed that if someone sells something, they have to take it back when it wears out. All the systems that deliver the product, that deliver the parts to the manufacturer, that deliver the raw materials to the parts producer, have empty trucks going back. Those trucks could carry the used materials back.
Imagine if supermarkets had to take back the empty boxes, bags, cans of the products they sell, sort them and send them back up the chain to the producers.
The same chain that delivers what becomes waste becomes the same chain that recycles it.
Don't say it would cost too much without doing the maths vs the current costs of waste disposal and environmental pollution/degradation
I had too much to dream last night.
