Extracting it into elemental aluminum is a very energy-intensive process.
I don’t know if these batteries use elemental aluminum, but I bet the Al starts out that way. The good thing about aluminum is that it is easily recycled. (Don’t know about the battery compounds..)
Aluminum is one material that makes sense to recycle..
