Of course the story is made prettier. That seems to be the overall vibe of this website in general and it's what companies. But there is truth in it. MB has opened a new recycling plant in which they've dumped a lot of research money in cooperation with a few other companies as well as the German government. That all sounds hopeful. If not exactly 96%, at least it's a good precedent. Maybe they'll start an arms race which company can claim the best recycling rate.
There is no recycling competition. One reason is a lack of batteries to recycle. There are only so many BEVs around and they are mostly new.
