For the most part this is true, but it does need to start now to be impactful when it is needed. The low volume of vehicles sold today and the even lower volume of vehicles / batteries being scrapped within the next 10 years means volume of material from that channel for recycling will be low. In the meantime recyclers can be and are interacting with battery manufacturers to obtain process waste to “prime the pump” for recycling.
The reason I say “for the most part” is because recycling and remanufacturing processes have already been in place for years to support post warranty needs for hybrid vehicles, so the processes have already been proven. But the volume of recyclable and remanufacturable material won’t reach full operating scale until high volume EVs built in the 2025 - 30 timeframe start to have post warranty needs.
