    As usual, the opponent of recycling things is simply “it’s too expensive”

    The ultimate failing of the future, as always, is current reliance on capitalism.

    Why recycle when you make more money by blowing up the planet and ripping out the good stuff?

      I think a big part of it is that we are still in early innings with EVs and storage, how many have reached end of life? The volume is going to increase substantially, and that will drive recycling to be more economical
