Electrification of homes, transportation, and industry – a core pillar of limiting global warming to 1.5 Celsius – depends on batteries to store renewable energy to expend when supply is low. Batteries depend on the raw materials that comprise them, which Redwood provides by recycling old batteries. Redwood Materials has the founding team and the vision to realize a circular economy where battery materials are more abundantly available. They’re well positioned for explosive growth by becoming a critical dependency of a large portion of batteries manufactured in the future.
Redwood Materials was started by JB Straubel, Tesla’s co-founder and former CTO, with the mission of increasing the supply of battery materials while reducing their environmental impact and cost. The company aims to transform the battery supply chain by offering large-scale sources of domestic anode and cathode materials produced by recycling batteries.
The company is growing quickly and hiring across the board, with emphasis on professionals with experience in chemistry, materials science, advanced equipment design, or automation. The culture values sustainability and allowing employees to see their hard work pay off.
