The largest lithium and cobalt mines in the Western Hemisphere are in our country’s junk drawers. If we recover materials from old products, we significantly reduce society’s reliance on newly mined materials.

Since 2022, Rotary clubs across the United States are collaborating with Redwood Materials, the first U.S.-based battery recycling plant to host collection drives, yielding tens of thousands of pounds of cell phones, laptops, power drills, electric toothbrushes, and other rechargeable electronics.

The only new lithium and nickel “mine”: Redwood’s processes represent the United States’ first nickel “mine” and only commercial-scale source of lithium supply to come online in decades.

Energy and Resource Efficiency: Redwood uses 80% less energy, generates 70% fewer CO2 emissions, and requires 80% less water, setting new standards in resource efficiency. Nothing goes to landfill, and no water leaves the facility (except for the sanitary waste).

The most sustainable and scalable recycling process:

40% fewer emissions than other recyclers. What’s more – it’s scalable.
