Redwood Materials, the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services, and the Electrical Safety Foundation International are teaming up to raise awareness about the importance of proper battery recycling to emphasize safety and U.S. energy dominance in South Carolina.
Lithium-ion batteries power the devices we rely on every day at home and at work, including phones, cars, kitchen appliances, toothbrushes, laptops, bicycles, power tools, headphones, and other rechargeable devices. These devices each contain valuable resources that can be recycled and reused in the United States. Redwood Materials, the largest battery recycler in North America, recovers more than 95% of the critical minerals in recycled devices, like lithium, cobalt, copper, and nickel, and returns them to the supply chain.
Recycling batteries and rechargeable devices keeps critical minerals in circulation and reduces the environmental impact of our products. Read more in our press release here.
How to Recycle: Lithium-Ion Batteries and Rechargeable Devices
Lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable devices should always be recycled at end-of-life to ensure safety, reduce environmental impact, and keep critical minerals in circulation. Every device you turn helps close the loop, turning yesterday’s products into tomorrow’s technology.
Damaged, Defective, or Recalled (DDR) batteries have increased safety risks and require special handling. For more information on how to identify and handle these batteries, please visit: www.redwoodmaterials.com/resources/ddr-batteries/
