Redwood Materials is a pioneering company focused on creating a sustainable and circular supply chain for battery materials. Founded by JB Straubel, a co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, Redwood Materials specializes in the recycling and repurposing of lithium-ion batteries and electronic waste. The company aims to address the growing demand for critical battery materials like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper by efficiently recovering these elements from used batteries and other electronic devices, thus reducing the need for new mining and lowering the environmental impact.

Redwood Materials employs advanced recycling technologies to extract and refine these valuable materials, ensuring they can be reused in the production of new batteries and other products. By closing the loop on battery life cycles, the company not only helps to mitigate the environmental issues associated with battery disposal but also supports the growing electric vehicle and renewable energy markets. Through its innovative approach, Redwood Materials is dedicated to promoting sustainability, reducing waste, and driving the transition to a more circular and resilient economy.
