Redwood Materials focuses on battery recycling and the supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The company addresses the need for sustainable battery production by transforming how materials are sourced. Currently, critical metals for battery production travel long distances, which is costly and environmentally harmful. Redwood Materials aims to provide a domestic source of anode and cathode materials made from recycled batteries, which helps U.S. cell manufacturers reduce costs and improve sustainability. Their business model revolves around recycling batteries to create these essential materials, thus minimizing the reliance on overseas suppliers. With the demand for lithium-ion batteries expected to rise significantly, Redwood Materials is positioned to meet this growing need while promoting a more sustainable approach to battery production.
