[RE-wrenches] Recycling of LI vs Pb

[Mark Frye]

Folks,

Has anyone done a good review of the current state of affairs re: 
recycling Li batteries?

I am a bit in the past with a starry-eyed view of Pb with HUP, in 
particular, believing that Pb batteries have almost a closed cycle 
product life, ie, we already have infrastructure to recycle something 
like 95% of the material in Pb batteries.

Taking a step back, has our industry become just as jaded by our shiny 
new technology as every other sector of our economy, focusing on 
impressive new short term outcomes that are not really embedded within 
the frame work of a sustainable future?

This is why I ask about the recyclablility / sustainability of Li 
batteries? Some what agnostic here but wondering what the thinking 
around this is?

Thanks,

Mark Frye
