Lithium is mostly from Chile, Argentina and Australia but its mostly refined in China.
> You're hoping that some magic recycling process spins up over the next years to make Lithium sustainable, when it clearly isn't right now.
The amount of lithium even if 100% recycled isn't nearly enough to cover what is needed. We know how to recycle it, in fact we have far more recycling capability then we have material that we can recycle. Everybody invest in recycling but there is not much to actually recycle yet.
