Recycling Profitability Is Heavily Influenced by Changing Material Prices Because of their material content, NMC batteries have historically netted a marginal profit when recycled while LFP batteries have bore little to no profit. This disparity has in the past encouraged LFP battery reuse when possible to maximize residual value recovery. AVERAGE RECOVERABLE MATERIAL VALUE OF NMC 811 VS LFP
