Please note that "recyclable" does not mean that it can be recycled (now), i.e. while in theory we know how to recycle batteries, the processes are currently non-existant or the infrastructures/plants to do that kind of recycling simply do not exist (yet) or are way too few (and far, so you have to calculate also the transport/shipping).
