Redwood Materials, a startup launched by Tesla co-founder JB Straubel, announced that it is beginning to collect and recycle EV battery packs from Volvo and Ford in California. Straubel’s Redwood Materials was best known as a Nevada-based company developing new processes to recycle materials with a focus on electric car batteries. But the company announced that is also getting into cathode and anode production with a 100 GWh battery material factory in the US. It is trying to create a full closed-loop supply chain for battery production and recycling in North America. https://electrek.co/2022/02/17/redwood-materials-collecting-recycling-ev-batteries-volvo-ford-california/ |
