Redwood Materials, a company specializing in recycling and reprocessing lithium-ion batteries, has partnered with BMW of North America to recycle batteries from all EVs in the BMW Group, including BMW, MINI, Rolls Royce, and BMW Motorrad.
Redwood plans to work with over 700 BMW Group locations, which include dealerships, distribution centers, and internal facilities.
According to a statement, the partnership will see Redwood recovering end-of-life EV battery packs to ensure valuable materials are recycled, refined, and returned to the battery supply chain.
Redwood’s processes have a much smaller environmental impact than conventional mining or other recycling technologies. The company has reduced its energy usage by 80%, CO2 emissions by 70%, and water by 80%.
Redwood has a history of collaborating with leaders in the EV and clean energy sectors and its partnership with BMW of North America is a significant milestone towards building a more sustainable future.
