Colorado’s EV battery recycling bill was signed into law, establishing the most comprehensive EV battery management framework in the U.S. At Redwood, we know that end-of-life EV batteries are not waste. They are valuable assets, whether for energy storage or critical mineral recovery. The framework prioritizes repurposing before recycling, supporting domestic energy storage deployment and extending the productive life of these assets. It establishes a clear recycler standard requiring actual extraction, separation, or refining of materials. It sets strong recovery standards with appropriate phase-in timelines, takes an outcome-based approach rather than banning specific technologies, and preserves direct manufacturer-recycler relationships rather than routing through a centralized stewardship organization designed for negative-value waste products. Redwood works across the full battery lifecycle, from second-life energy storage tomaterial recovery, and we've been working on end-of-life policy diligently.. As other states take up this topic, we're ready to be a resource for the partners and policymakers working to get this right. For more on what's in the law and how we're thinking about it:

SpaceXAI is investing in a massive water recycling system in Memphis 💧 The state-of-the-art facility is designed to recycle up to 13 MILLION gallons of wastewater every day That means roughly 4.745 BILLION gallons of Memphis Aquifer water protected every year....while eliminating the need for SpaceXAI’s facility to draw from the aquifer for industrial use And the impact goes even beyond The recycled water is also planned to serve other major industrial users in the area, further reducing pressure on Memphis’ water supply This is how you scale massive AI infrastructure more responsibly Build more capacity → recycle resources → reduce pressure on the infrastructure people already depend on SpaceXAI is scaling AI infrastructure at an enormous pace while investing billions of gallons back into the resource equation instead of simply taking more from it

Tesla just flexed HARD on battery recycling. Our goal: ZERO Tesla batteries in landfills. Ever. 2025 Impact Report numbers: • 14,000+ metric tons of battery material recycled (+20% YoY) • That’s the equivalent of 46,000 long-range battery packs • Nevada facility alone: 3,000 metric tons ≈ 9,000 Model Y RWDs • Recovering over 90% of critical materials (nickel & cobalt) • Hydrometallurgy hitting up to 98% recovery rates Closed-loop supply chain. Lower emissions. Actual circular economy. This is how you scale EVs without wrecking the planet. The future isn’t just electric — it’s regenerative. 🔋♻️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
