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 domestic anode and cathode materials produced from recycled batteries. Our current operations are headquartered in Carson City and we’re quickly ramping up our Battery Materials Campus at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (near the Tesla Gigafactory) for copper foil & recycling operations. We expect to invest in Northern Nevada over the coming decade and hire more than 1,500 people at that site.
Redwood receives more than ~6 GWh of end-of-life batteries annually for recycling, which are then refined and remanufactured into critical battery materials. The company has partnerships with major car manufacturers to recycle end-of-life batteries from their electric vehicles. Additionally, Redwood works with partners across the U.S. to educate, engage, and create convenient recycling pathways for consumer lithium-ion batteries and old devices, helping to increase our ability to produce even more sustainable domestic battery materials. Redwood plans to ramp production of anode and cathode components in the US to 100 GWh annually by 2025, enough to produce more than one million electric vehicles a year.
During November’s Tech Wednesday presentation you will learn:
The growing demand for lithium-ion battery materials and the challenges in the supply chain for those materials.
How Redwood Materials innovative process is working to solve those problems with multiple benefits to the industry and the environment.
Redwood Materials partner organizations that will supply recycling feedstock.
The timeline for Redwood Materials projected goals for production.
Community partnerships work with Redwood Materials consumer program to increase awareness and divert batteries from the waste stream.
