JB Straubel On Redwood Materials — Electrify Everything, Recycle Endlessly
, talked about why he decided to leave Tesla to strike out in a different direction.
As to why battery recycling was the new area he chose to concentrate on, Straubel said, “Increasingly, the solution to [a] sustainability problem is to electrify it and to add a battery to it, which is great, and I spent the majority of my career championing that and helping accelerate that. And if we don’t electrify everything, I think our climate goals are completely sunk. But at the same time, it’s a phenomenal amount of batteries.
“But something that isn’t intuitive is just what a high level of reusability the metals inside of a battery have. All of those materials we put into a battery and into an EV don’t go anywhere. They’re all still there. They don’t get degraded, they don’t get compromised., or perhaps more, can be reused again and again and again. Literally hundreds, perhaps thousands of times.”
Asked if his company is focusing on recycling only batteries with certain chemistries, Staubel said, “I’m really genuinely pretty agnostic on this. I want to make sure that we are focused on the bigger picture, which is figuring out how we enable a transition to sustainability overall. And therefore, we really are rooting for whatever battery technology ends up having the best performance. And I think it will be a mix.
