Redwood Materials

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

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 partnered with BMW of North America to recycle EV batteries across all brands, including BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad. Together, we’re driving a more sustainable, electric future: https://lnkd.in/eUpeBGCB

In the spirit of back-to-school, Redwood, TakeActionSC and South Carolina Department of Environmental Services are launching a statewide Battery Recycling Program and K-12 classroom curriculum designed to educate and engage students and faculty. Learn how to take part: redwoodmaterials.com/edu/

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.

Compared to traditional methods of processing mined ore, Redwood's process uses 80% less energy, generates 70% fewer CO2 emissions, and requires 80% less water, setting new standards in resource efficiency. More on our Tahoe Campus and Stanford University's findings: https://lnkd.in/euTuCmWm

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

Today, we celebrate America’s independence and our progress towards energy independence through a domestic, battery materials supply chain. 

We've been named on #TIME100Companies for the second year! TIME's annual list highlights the most impactful companies around the world and we're honored to be included for our work building a domestic and sustainable battery materials supply chain! https://lnkd.in/gyuvFeis
