If Lithium scarcity becomes a significant problem, there will be plenty of economic incentives for recycling. There are already multiple competing companies offering ~95% recycling of lithium ion battery materials. Also, batteries more suited to grid-scale operation like iron-flow are already in commercial use and will likely replace a fair bit of the large-scale lithium ion battery market.
