Redwood Materials focuses on battery recycling and the supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The company transforms used batteries into valuable materials, specifically anodes and cathodes, which are essential for battery production. By recycling batteries, Redwood Materials creates a domestic source for these critical components, reducing the need for long-distance transportation and overseas procurement, which can be costly and environmentally harmful. Unlike many competitors, Redwood Materials emphasizes sustainability and cost-effectiveness by providing U.S. cell manufacturers with locally sourced materials. The goal of Redwood Materials is to support the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries while minimizing environmental impact and enhancing the efficiency of the supply chain.

Materials to be recycled include cathode and anode material as well as cell scrap.Ultium Cells’ two facilities are each 2.8 million-square-feet operations that expect to produce more than 80 GWh combined of battery cells annually, with Redwood receiving the majority of the scrap from its manufacturing process. Ultium is already shipping material from Gigafactories in Ohio and Tennessee and the company has a third facility under construction in Michigan. With this latest collaboration, Redwood now has contracts with most of North America’s battery cell manufacturers.Despite tremendously efficient production rates, cell manufacturing still experiences a 5-10% scrap rate on average. This equates to daily truckloads full of material, and ~10,000 tons of material annually, for Redwood to recycle and remanufacture into critical battery components for cell manufacturing.Redwood is redefining sustainability in battery material production at our Northern Nevada campus
