I wouldn't call it the unused state, but when recycled in a proper facility, the material recovered from lithium ion batteries can be used again in future battery production. Related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2xrarUWVRQ&t=270s

That’s what I was curious about. We have an EV and one of the biggest things is the lithium mining for the batteries being awful for the environment and awful treatment of workers. With EV’s becoming more popular and other types of batteries using lithium then I think lithium recycling is going to be very important to the future and was wondering if anything had been established. Even a close to unused state allowing it to be put back into an EV for 95% capacity is better than just throwing it away.
I will definitely check out the video though
