JAKARTA - Electric vehicle battery recycling specialist Redwood Materials opened its next Redwood Battery Campus intensifies, South Carolina.

On this 600-hectare battery campus, Redwood will hire 1,500 people and build enough cathode and anode components to supply 1 million EVs annually.

As a corridor from a new manufacturing company from Michigan to Georgia known as the "Battery Belt", the campus will generate 100 GWh cathode and anode components per year, and will start operating between now and 2030.

Redwood plans to make a breakthrough at the Carolina Campus in Q1 2023 and run its first recycling process at the end of next year.

Similar to operations in Nevada, operations in South Carolina Redwood will use 100 percent electricity and will not use any fossil fuels in the process.

"We will only use zero-emission sources, clean energy and factory designs as well as our innovative production process will allow us to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with the production of these components by about 80% compared to the current Asian-based supply chain we rely on for this crucial material," the company said in an announcement shared on Twitter.

For additional information, Redwood has partnered with several major brands such as Toyota, Volvo, and Panasonic.

"South Carolina allowed us to meet our partner's demands as well as improve in the most sustainable and cost-effective way," concluded Redwood.
