Redwood will work directly with BMW’s network of close to 700 locations across the US, including dealerships, distribution centers, and other facilities, to recover end-of-life batteries. It can recycle and refine critical minerals, including nickel, cobalt, lithium, and copper, and return 95-98% of these minerals to the battery supply chain.

Tesla CTO JB Straubel, has gained another major customer in BMW. The agreement provides for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries from BMW vehicles in the USA.

With BMW and Redwood Materials joining forces, is the long-term sustainability of electric vehicles now within reach?
