Thats a lab that's doing research...because the premise is that the batteries are not currently recyclable
I mean, the materials can be recycled. We haven't needed to because of rabid capitalist exploitation, but as the need for these materials grows and mining becomes less feasible they can and will be recycled.
Don't make assumptions
That's not an assumption, it's a set of reasonable steps. We need batteries, the metals used in batteries are getting harder to find in nature, cars have batteries containing the material we need. Thus we will find a way to recycle the batteries.
I'm all for healthy cynicism, but if there's a shit load of money to be made doing something, people will find a way to do it.
