Fair point. One thing that gives me hope is that the two startups I mentioned don't seem to have direct connections with battery manufacturers or retailers.
The main issue with specifically plastic recycling is that it was brought into existence by the very companies pumping out millions of tonnes of plastic as an effort to put the guilt for the pollution on the consumer. And was started without an actually viable way of recycling said plastic.
Hopefully these efforts with batteries will get funding, and prove to be both cost effective and popular.

Look, I hope for the best. Lithium is a limited resource and we should be trying to reclaim as much as possible. But capitalism is a piece of shit engine that'll take the cheapest method to make money and run with it regardless of the impact.
