People should really do some research into recycling. The best recycled product today is.......the car battery.
And not because companies are green or such (useful) sh!t. No, it is because the elements in the battery have value. Even the batteries from the cars which die in Africa end up in the recycling. Estimates are that over 95% of all car batteries are recycled. And those are batteries based on Zinc and Lead which are not the most valuable elements on this Earth. And this is just because it is a simple straight forward business where money is made!

And now we are moving towards EVs with huge batteries which elements which are very valuable, or at least way more valuable then the elements in the currently recycled batteries. So we may expect the recycling of EV batteries to be highly successful. The whole car industry setup is such that recycling is basically a give. And it is very worthwhile for the companies doing it, and that is the key! And with EVs this will not change, quite the contrary I expect!
