Redwood Materials focuses on battery recycling and the supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The company recycles used batteries to produce domestic sources of anode and cathode materials, which are essential components in battery production. This process not only reduces costs but also addresses sustainability concerns by minimizing the need for overseas procurement of critical metals. Unlike many competitors, Redwood Materials emphasizes creating a closed-loop supply chain within North America, allowing U.S. cell manufacturers to source materials locally. The goal of Redwood Materials is to support the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries while promoting environmentally friendly practices and reducing the overall carbon footprint of battery production.

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
