Yes, there are. It doesn't change the fact that there are challenges with how current battery packs are produced, and how to manage that(as described in the article, if you read it). I suspect one of the big improvements in the next decade will be packaging and material reduction.
This is why it's good to have plenty of different manufacturers jumping in, as they will all innovate differently. The drawback is you end up with loads of different materials, designs, components, etc that make a generic recycling processes harder to optimize.
