The lithium-ion battery recycling market is set to become increasingly profitable in the next few decades. According to recent estimates, it will be possible to recover about 86,000 metric tons of nickel, 35,000 metric tons of cobalt, and 125,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent from used batteries by 2030.
