GM to recycle ~10K tons of EV battery materials a year with Redwood deal
Briefly

Redwood Materials partners with Ultium Cells to recycle 10,000 tons of GM's EV battery production scrap annually, focusing on sustainable practices and material performance.
Recycling battery materials may outperform newly mined minerals; Redwood's hydrometallurgy facility in the US is a key source of lithium, nickel, and cobalt from scrap.
Redwood's approach to battery recycling stresses environmental benefits over traditional mining, requiring less water and energy for battery-grade materials production.
Redwood's deal with GM distinguishes from prior arrangements, focusing on recycling production scrap rather than repurposing used batteries for storage, underlining the shift towards environmental consciousness in EV production.
