We welcome the Automotive Recyclers Association convention to Reno, the biggest (not-so-little) battery recycling capital of the USA! Dismantlers and recyclers play a pivotal role in the automotive industry for end-of-life vehicles. As EV demand grows, we are working together to safely extract batteries, recover critical minerals, and build a sustainable supply chain for EVs.

Building the circular supply chain to power a sustainable world
About us
Redwood Materials is creating a circular supply chain to drive down the environmental footprint and cost of lithium-ion batteries and the electric vehicles and sustainable energy storage systems they power. Founded by JB Straubel, the Nevada-based company is offering large-scale sources of sustainable battery materials produced at scale in the U.S. for the first time. Redwood is ramping its Northern Nevada facility and has broken ground on its second Battery Materials Campus, outside Charleston, South Carolina. Both of Redwood’s campuses will recycle, refine, and manufacture battery materials, aiming to scale production to 100 GWh annually. More information is available at redwoodmaterials.com.

We’re recovering batteries from fires, floods, and emergencies, recycling them almost infinitely, regardless of their condition. We’re assisting with hurricane cleanup, supported last year’s Maui fire recovery, and are addressing incidents on our roadways. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4h4wyV8

"With batteries proliferating in cars and homes and on the grid and everywhere else, it doesn't have to be an environmental mess at their end of life or in a disaster or a flood…There are some good solutions to recover that material and make sure it doesn't impact the environment any more than the natural disaster did in the first place.” Discover how we're aiding hurricane cleanup, supported last year’s Maui fire recovery, and are addressing thermal incidents on our roadways in our latest story with Forbes and on our blog: bit.ly/4h4wyV8
NEW: Redwood Materials, a battery recycling and components maker created by Tesla cofounder JB Straubel, has added electric vehicle packs that have been damaged by fires and floods to the range of products it's recovering to reuse the high-value metals contained within to make new lithium-ion cells. #electricvehicles #batteries

It only takes 166 smartphones to recycle enough cobalt to build a new EV battery. Yet, only ~17% of the 150 million devices Americans discard each year, are recycled. At Redwood, we’re helping to change this by collecting and recycling lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable devices to make new, more sustainable battery materials.

We've "topped out" or finished installing our final steel beam at our cathode facility at our Tahoe Campus, which, once complete, will represent the US' first commercial supply of CAM. This building will produce 20 GWh of CAM annually, enough for more than 250,000 electric vehicles. In coming years, we'll 5x it's footprint to 100 GWh annually, enough CAM to power 1.3 million EVs a year.

Redwood’s processes represent the United States’ first commercial lithium source and nickel “mine” to come online in decades. And we’re cutting refining CO2 emissions by over 70% with our sustainable, scalable approach. More on our Tahoe Campus and Stanford University's findings: https://lnkd.in/euTuCmWm
