Redwood Materials is a lithium-ion battery recycling company focused on providing a circular and sustainable supply chain for reusable battery materials. Redwood collects recycled batteries at the end of their useful life and refines them into Anode and Cathode materials to sell back to battery manufacturers. The company's refining and remanufacturing process reportedly recovers 95% of key battery elements and raw materials including copper, cobalt and nickel. Redwood Materials aims to reach 100GWh in anode and cathode production or enough material for one million electric vehicles annually.
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Carson City, Nevada. Notable investors include Goldman Sachs, T. Rowe Price, U.S. Department for Energy and Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund.

Redwood Materials Key Facts
- Redwood Materials claims to help tackle the battery shortage issues hurting the EV and hybrid community through its domestic, closed-loop supply chain. The batteries that power the motors in electric vehicles and hybrids are in short supply around the world due to the limited supply of lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Redwood avoids the costs incurred from shipping these materials around the world and also provides a domestic source for cathode materials that is relatively conflict-free.
- The EV market is projected to grow from $396.4 billion in 2024 to $620.3 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 7.7% which Redwood Materials is well positioned to capitalize on. The company has constructed the first commercial cathod facility in the United States and is also working on opening another campus in South Carolina in response to the expected growth of the market.
- Redwood's many partnerships signals a strong market validation for the company. Redwood works with automakers, battery manufacturers and electronic device producers to recycle and supply sustainable battery materials. This has helped the company secure a reliable supply of used EV batteries for recycling, help decrease their costs, as well as increase access and adoption of electric vehicles.
- The market for electric vehicles has experienced a slow down since January 2024 due to insufficient charging infrastructure and the lack of affordable EV options. In a June study by McKinsey & Co., 46% of surveyed EV owners in the US said they would likely return to gas-powered vehicles. Additionally, the current administration has set out to revoke the tax credit for EV drivers in favor of gas-powered cars. Amidst this heightened risk of EV-adoption throughout the US, Redwood Materials might struggle to generate revenue and grow.
- Redwood Materials might face difficulty optimizing their operational model as recycling lithium batteries still remains a more expensive alternative to mining lithium which is projected to be the case for the next 10 years. Redwood's business model relies on battery breakdown and production which is an inherently time consuming and capital-intensive endeavor which can hurt the company's profit margins.
- Redwood Materials has invested significantly in recycling lithium-ion batteries and therefore relies on current battery chemistries to be stagnant. If there are new battery technologies and like a rise in sodium-ion technology (Na-ion), it could limit the demand for lithium iron phosphate L(M)FP cells and could require a completely different recycling process which could then disrupt Redwood Material's operations. Redwood therefore has a technology lock-in risk that must be taken into account when analyzing any future challenges for the company.
