How are EV batteries (actually) recycled?

Union of Concerned Scientists

Electric Vehicle (EV) battery recycling is crucial to a sustainable, electrified transportation system. A substantial portion of key minerals for electrifying could come from recycled batteries by 2050, dramatically reducing the need for new mining. The recycler takes the battery pack apart into smaller modules.

DOE Publishes New Strategy for Plastics Innovation

Brag

This is further complicated by the need for more robust processes that can convert diverse and contaminated plastic waste streams into useful chemical intermediates that can be upcycled into high-value products. According to the SPI, a lack of robust chemical and biological mechanisms limits the deconstruction of existing plastics.
