The Material Recycling Company of the Former Tsrabine Master JBstraubel has an investment in more than $ 700 million in investment. Redwood is currently developing a process of producing battery materials that can be replaced to the supply chain, and has established partnerships with companies such as Panasonic, Envisionaesc and Amazon. The company is committed to recovering any equipment with lithium-ion batteries, including mobile phones, laptops, and power tools, but main concerns are electric vehicles (EV) batteries.

A lithium-ion battery group produced by a British startup company named Aceleron, specially designed for easy recycling, announced on July 28 that new investment will enable the company to significantly expand its capabilities and develop new in the United States. Battery material. In June this year, Redwood said it was planned to expand its facilities in Nevada Cancel City to 550,000 square feet, and built another large factory in Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in Nevada.
