Profile
Redwood Materials is an American battery-recycling and materials company, founded in 2017 by J.B. Straubel, a co-founder and former chief technology officer of Tesla. It is headquartered in Carson City, Nevada.
The company recycles lithium-ion batteries and produces battery materials for electric vehicles and energy storage, aiming to build a closed-loop domestic supply chain. It reports recovering more than 95% of the key metals, including nickel, cobalt, lithium and copper, from end-of-life batteries, and is building capacity to produce battery-grade materials such as cathode and anode components in the US.
Redwood has grown rapidly, reporting around 1,100 employees, and works with automakers and battery manufacturers to recover and remanufacture materials from spent batteries and production scrap.
