From what I understand recycling Li is very expensive and requires massive amounts of heat, and it costs less just to produce new ones. Just a quick Google on that says currently only 5% of lithium is recycled in the US.

Again...this is all CURRENT state. There will be a point where the technology for recycling is more efficient and cheaper and will cross the threshold of being cheaper to recycle than to mine new lithium.
none of these current stats are going to be relevant in the future. This should be self explanatory.
