Overview
Redwood Materials builds a domestic battery materials supply chain by recycling lithium-ion batteries and producing refined materials for new cells. Founded by JB Straubel and based in the Carson City / Northern Nevada industrial corridor, it is the region’s largest climate-tech employer story. We curate it onto the Reno metro hub as Northern Nevada — not a false Reno city-limits HQ claim.
