I didn’t know batteries could actually be recycled. I always thought it wasn’t very common. But now I’m curious how high the actual recycling rate is. Are there any good examples of it working well?

There are a lot of companies working on ramping up this industry in the US, some examples are https://ascendelements.com/, https://www.redwoodmaterials.com/, https://ecobat.com/our-business/ecobat-solutions/lithium-ser.... There's no real technological barrier, it's just about making the economics work.
