Tesla co-founder JB Straubel has built an EV-battery colossus in the scrublands of Nevada. He spent the day giving me the first look at everything @redwoodmat has been building. It starts with *30 acres* of old batteries headed headed for recycling 🧵

It's the first full loop battery supply chain in the US — and probably in the world. Independent Stanford researchers were allowed access to Redwood's data for the most comprehensive real-world study of EV recycling. The environmental savings were 🤯 3/ bloomberg.com/news/features/…

We’re building America’s battery supply chain: ✅ First commercial-scale nickel "mine" and only lithium supply to come online in the US in decades. ✅ Stanford University shows we cut CO2 by 40% compared to other recyclers and, at a 15-20 GWh processing scale already! ✅ Environmental

Every day is Earth Day at Redwood! Stanford University's recent study confirms we're driving scalable change in recycling and battery materials production.

Don't let anyone tell you that EV batteries just end up as toxic landfill waste. They're simply too valuable to toss out. Though still in its infancy, EV recycling is already widespread, profitable and capable of recovering more than 95% of key minerals. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“Redwood Materials’ recycling process produces up to 80% fewer emissions than traditional supply chain using CO2 belching refineries. That’s enough to shorten an average EV’s environmental breakeven time with an internal combustion vehicle to less than 15,000 miles. Every mile

On Earth Day, our Rotary International partners collected thousands of pounds of batteries from their communities in just a few hours. They shared their experience working with us create a more sustainable future. Inspired to host or attend an event? Visit redwoodmaterials.com/recycle-with-us

We’re partnering with Ultium Cells (the General Motors and LG Energy Solution joint venture) to recycle 100% of the production scrap from their Ohio and Tennessee battery plants. Together, we’re building America's battery supply chain. redwoodmaterials.com/news/redwood-u…

Today, we celebrate America’s independence and our progress towards energy independence through a domestic, battery materials supply chain.

Redwood’s processes represent the United States’ first commercial lithium source and nickel “mine” to come online in decades. And we’re cutting refining CO2 emissions by over 70% with our sustainable, scalable approach. More on our Tahoe Campus and Stanford University's findings:

Compared to traditional methods of processing mined ore, Redwood uses 80% less energy, generates 70% fewer CO2 emissions, and requires 80% less water, setting new standards in resource efficiency. More on our Tahoe Campus and Stanford University University's findings:

"By providing a domestic source for cathode materials, Redwood not only provides a conflict-free source of these materials, but further establishes itself as a key part of the developing EV battery ecosystem in the United States." -motortrend Tim Stevens motortrend.com/news/ev-batter…

In the spirit of back-to-school, Redwood, @TakeActionSC and SCGOV's Department of Environmental Services are launching a statewide Battery Recycling Program and K-12 classroom curriculum designed to educate and engage students and faculty. Take part: redwoodmaterials.com/edu/
