We don't have mass lithium ion battery recycling yet because there hasn't been enough Li+ batteries to begin recycling. As more massive batteries reach end of life it will develop. You know, since a Li+ battery has lithium concentrations several order of magnitude higher than any lithium ore you will find in any mine.
Spot-on!
