"Under the new agreement between GM and Redwood Materials, Redwood will help recycle GM-supplied battery packs into energy storage devices, promoting scalable, cost-effective energy storage."
"The collaboration aims to prevent EV batteries from contributing to the e-waste crisis by repurposing retired battery packs for new applications in energy storage."
General Motors and Redwood Materials launched a partnership to recycle old EV battery packs, converting them into energy storage systems. This initiative aims to reduce waste from totaled electric vehicles while providing a sustainable solution to battery disposal. Currently, many retired batteries face grim fates, often ending up in landfills or being processed into a black mass. Redwood, founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, is focused on creating a closed-loop battery supply chain. By this partnership, GM will supply both new and retired battery packs to Redwood for repurposing.
