With more and more demand for the materials to make these things, taking advantage of recycling can ease a supply crunch and eventually drive down costs. "The goal is to make the most sustainable battery materials," said Jackson Switzer, Redwood senior director of business development and one of Insider's 100 People Transforming Business. "To make the most sustainable battery materials, we need to get as much recycled nickel, cobalt, and lithium as we can into the front end of the system.

Panasonic Energy of North America , the largest supplier of battery cells for electric vehicles in the U.S., has struck a deal with Nevada-based battery recycling company Redwood Materials to buy a key material for the production of batteries. Right now, Panasonic imports almost all of the cathode material used in the production of battery cells at its plant in Sparks, Nevada. The new Panasonic facility will use high-nickel cathode supplied by Redwood materials when production starts in 2025. For Straubel, the agreement with Panasonic Energy is further validation of his vision for Redwood Materials. By 2030, the company expects to produce anode and cathode materials annually to power five million electric vehicles.
