Current & Upcoming Events
Sustainable Future, Battery Recycling Event
Join the Consumer Battery Recycling Program today!
Audi teamed up with Redwood Materials to recycle rechargeable batteries and old devices and help power a more sustainable future. Redwood recycling bins will be deployed at Audi Millburn. Batteries and devices collected in these bins will be returned to Redwood, to ultimately be incorporated into increasingly more sustainable, domestic EV batteries.
How does it work?
Bring your old rechargeable devices and electronics to the secure drop off bin at Audi Millburn.
What devices are accepted?
- Cell Phones
- Laptops
- Tablets
- Electric power tools
- Other household lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries
Commitment to Sustainability
Batteries are in nearly every consumer device. From cell phones to laptops, e-bikes to scooters and electric toothbrushes to vacuum cleaners and power drills, our dependency on rechargeable batteries is skyrocketing. As more electric vehicles hit our roads (now at 5 percent market penetration in the US and growing rapidly), we'll need more and more batteries. All lithium-ion batteries are made up of varying amounts of critical minerals like cobalt, copper, nickel, and lithium - metals that can be recycled almost infinitely. Since metal atoms don't change or degrade, old device batteries can become new EV batteries without any trade-offs to performance or battery life. Today, less than 5 percent of lithium-ion battery-containing devices get recycled, mainly because clear recycling pathways don't exist.
Redwood and Audi see a tremendous opportunity to create these pathways, allow consumers to recycle their batteries, and then use these batteries to domestically remanufacture new, sustainable electric vehicle batteries.
Redwood is grateful to launch this unique partnership with Audi which brings us closer to closing the loop on lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and consumer devices. Together, we can decrease our reliance on mining, increase domestic manufacturing, lower the costs of EVs and increase the sustainability of all products.
