Redwood Materials Battery Recycling Facility in South Carolina

under construction

Redwood Materials has started operations at its new battery recycling facility located on a 600-acre campus in Berkeley County, South Carolina. The facility strips cobalt, lithium, nickel, and copper from used batteries collected over the past year. The plant is part of a $3.5 billion investment, the largest single economic development project in South Carolina's history. It aims to gather 20,000 metric tons of lithium and other metals in the first year, refining and remaking them into battery components to supply U.S. battery manufacturers. At full capacity, the factory will produce enough materials for over a million electric vehicles.
