The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Lithium market research – global supply, future demand and price development (2017, background): “Currently, the proportion of recycled lithium is less than 1% [14].”
Rare Earth Elements Recovery from Waste Fluorescent Lamps: A Review (2015, background): “45 million tonnes (Du and Graedel, 2011), but the global end-of-life recycling rates of these elements is less than 1% (Reck and Graedel, 2012).”
Life-Cycle Assessment of the Production of Rare-Earth Elements for Energy Applications: A Review (2014, background): “Estimates of recycling rates are around 1% (Buchert et al., 2009; Chakhmouradian and Wall, 2012; Reck and Graedel, 2012; Binnemans et al., 2013; Bogue, 2014).”
Global life cycle releases of engineered nanomaterials (2013, methodology): “Finally, we use Sankey diagrams to visualize the pathways of ENMs, which are widely practiced in the field of industrial ecology in general, and in material flow analysis (MFA) in particular (Hashimoto and Moriguchi 2004; Schmidt 2008; Du and Graedel 2011; Suh and Yee 2011; Reck and Graedel 2012).”
