Redwood Materials Partners with GM's Ultium Cells to Recycle EV Battery Scrap
The collaboration aims to recycle 10,000 tons of battery production scrap annually from facilities in Ohio and Tennessee.
- Redwood Materials, founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, will recycle GM's battery scrap from Ultium Cells.
- The recycling process will handle cathode, anode, and cell scrap, transforming them into high-quality battery materials.
- Redwood's facility in Nevada will process the scrap, supplying materials back to cell manufacturers as anode and cathode components.
- The partnership aligns with broader industry efforts to secure battery material supplies domestically, reducing reliance on imports.
- Redwood anticipates scaling production capacity significantly by 2030, aiming to power millions of EVs annually.
