Rivian Expands Redwood Materials Partnership to Recycle Battery Scrap and Expired Packs

Rivian and Redwood Materials have expanded their collaboration to recycle manufacturing scrap alongside end-of-life battery packs from the automaker's electric vehicles. Under the agreement, Redwood will extract valuable critical minerals including lithium, cobalt, and nickel to feed back into the domestic supply chain. The initiative aims to reduce cell production waste while establishing a localized closed-loop system for future battery manufacturing.
