NEWS: Redwood Materials has started recycling battery materials at its new facility in South Carolina.
"America runs on critical materials: cobalt, lithium, nickel, and copper. They are the backbone of our modern economy, powering everything from computers and smartphones to energy storage, defense systems, and AI data centers. Yet today, the United States imports nearly all of these minerals, often from unstable regions or adversarial nations.
Today,
@RedwoodMat is on par with the largest U.S. source of nickel and stands as the only domestic source of cobalt at scale. Our operations also represent one of the most significant, and only new, domestic sources of lithium and copper to come online in decades. With roughly 90% of all lithium-ion batteries processed in North America coming through our facilities, Redwood’s Nevada Campus produced more than 60,000 metric tons of materials last year—making it one of the nation’s most important sources of critical minerals, mined or recycled. Now, we’re bringing our first operations online at our South Carolina campus, adding an initial 20,000 metric tons of annual materials production."
