BMW working with Redwood Materials on lithium-ion battery recycling
BMW of North America and Redwood Materials have partnered to recycle lithium-ion batteries from all-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and mild hybrid BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad vehicles in the U.S.
According to a news release, Redwood Materials will work directly with BMW’s network of nearly 700 dealerships, distribution centers, and other facilities across the county to recover end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and ensure critical minerals like nickel, cobalt, lithium, and copper are recycled and refined. Ultimately, the OEM plans to return 95-98% of the critical minerals to the battery supply chain to build increasingly sustainable EVs. The materials inside a battery are nearly infinitely recyclable and are not fully consumed or lost when used in vehicles.
