Not really. Recovering then is expensive.

Manganese is the most highest quantity mineral in most batteries but it is cheap

Lithium is the most expensive but hardest to recover.

There is a lot of work being done to improve the recycling efficiencies and eventually the market economics will balance things out. But right now it isn’t a great deal.

Market???

With the massive State and Federal subsidies, there is no 'market.'
