GM will recycle its EV battery scrap with Tesla co-founder’s company


Redwood says it has deals with most EV makers in the US.

Redwood, which was founded by Tesla co-founder and ex-chief technology officer JB Straubel, will handle “100 percent” of the scrap from GM’s Warren, Ohio, and Spring Hill, Tennessee, facilities. In addition to breaking down scrap from GM’s battery-making process, the company also recycles EV batteries from Tesla, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Specialized, Amazon, Lyft, Rad Power Bikes, and others. After receiving batteries from its various partners, Redwood begins a chemical recycling process in which it strips out and refines the relevant elements like nickel, cobalt, and copper.
