U.S. company Redwood Materials has launched a new battery recycling facility in South Carolina. Spanning 243 hectares, the site is designed to turn out about 20,000 tons of materials per year. The plant is expected to create more than 1,500 jobs over time and grow into one of the world’s largest hubs for recycling and producing battery components.Redwood works with Ford, Volkswagen, Volvo, Panasonic and Toyota. Recovered materials from EV batteries are slated for use not only in the auto industry but also in stationary energy storage systems. Serving both mobility and fixed storage broadens where these materials can be put to work, a practical way to keep more value in circulation.The project has support from investors, including NVentures, the venture arm of Nvidia. The company aims to keep resources inside the United States and cut dependence on foreign supplies. Redwood is also pushing technologies that shape the next generation of vehicles, including batteries designed for reuse and energy storage systems for AI infrastructure—an approach that underscores the drive to close the loop on batteries while opening doors to new applications.
