We’re building a circular supply chain to power a sustainable world.

What we do

Redwood is creating a domestic battery supply chain to make lithium-ion batteries and the energy applications they power more accessible, affordable, and sustainable.


Our integrated process involves recycling batteries at end of life, refining their critical minerals, and remanufacturing sustainable battery materials, including cathode active material, to go back into new batteries

95%

Metals recovery
On average, we recover 95% of key battery elements and supply raw materials back to U.S. battery manufacturers.

100 GWh

Annual production goal
Redwood aims to produce enough battery materials for 1 million electric vehicles annually.

20 GWh

Lithium-ion battery collection
Today, we receive over 20 GWh of batteries annually, which equates to more than 250,000 electric vehicles.

Engineering sustainability

Why we do it

Climate change is creating a global imperative to electrify and accelerate the reduction of fossil fuels. Batteries are the solution, yet critical metals move 50,000+ miles before they reach a cell factory – a costly and unsustainable process.

  • Cathode, a key component of lithium-ion batteries and the single most expensive component in an electric vehicle, isn't produced in North America today.

  • As a result, U.S. cell manufacturers will spend more than $600B overseas on these materials over the next decade.

Why we do it

Electrification is projected to increase demand for cathode active material over 600% by 2030, but the current supply chain is unprepared to support that growth. Redwood's sustainable battery materials, made from recycled batteries, can help fill the gap.
