Redwood Materials Will Recycle Hawaiian Grid Batteries

Cars That Think

Lithium-ion battery recycling took a big step forward this week, as a Hawaiian utility announced it is undertaking one of the biggest examples of grid-storage recycling in North America to date. By electric grid standards, Anahola’s 4-megawatt-hour storage facility is not big. So the idea is, buy it once and keep it here.”
