US lithium-ion battery recycler Redwood Materials has partnered with BMW of North America to recycle end-of-life batteries from all EVs in the BMW Group, including BMW, MINI, Rolls Royce and BMW Motorrad vehicles.
Redwood will work directly with BMW Group’s network of over 700 locations, including dealerships, distribution centers and internal facilities.
Redwood has two US campuses to recycle, refine and manufacture battery components—one outside Reno, Nevada and the other under construction in Charleston, South Carolina. The Charleston location is near BMW Group’s Plant Spartanburg and Plant Woodruff, where the company will assemble at least six electric models—and the high-voltage battery packs for those vehicles—before the end of the decade.
“Our relationship with BMW of North America embodies our continued commitment to recovering end-of-life EV battery packs to ensure valuable materials are recycled, refined and returned to the battery supply chain to build increasingly sustainable electric vehicles,” Redwood stated.
