Quote: Yes, lithium-ion batteries are recyclable, but the process is a bit complicated. This might be the reason why you're struggling to find a recycling center that processes this kind of waste. The first challenge to lithium recycling is that you can't handle those batteries like any other electronic waste.
Big electronic manufacturers often refer to studies about how lithium is one of the least toxic metals utilized in batteries?
But, as always, you need to take those claims with a (big) grain of salt. Quote
Lead acid batteries are the most recycled (95%) product in the world. Think about when lithium batteries replace lead acid batteries. Where and when is mining and the fledgling recycling industry going to be able to produce enough lithium is a open question.
Right now less than 5% of autos are EVs think about needing 95% more by 2030. The truth is the number of cars being driven are going to have to be sliced by about 70% in order to even come close to meeting the Progressives 2030 goal.
