ELI5:Why can Energizer only utilize 4% recycled batteries for their new ecoadvanced batteries and what has happened to all of the other batteries I have went out of my way to "recycle" over the years?

Not sure if recycling is the goal.   Batteries are a form of hazardous waste.  Separating them out of your normal trash and turning them into a recycle center allows the waste handlers to treat them separately, isolate them from normal less hazardous trash and dispose of them properly.
