Redwood Materials

Redwood Materials, founded by the former Tesla chief technology officer JB Straubel, operates out of Carson City, Nevada, USA. The factory takes in dead batteries, extracts valuable materials such as copper and cobalt, then sends the refined metals back into the battery supply chain. The complex designs that recyclers must navigate to get to the valuable components requires functional thinking and smart engineering skills.

Lasso Home Recycling

About the size of a washing machine, the Lasso steam cleans, sorts, and grinds up your glass, plastic and metal recycling. When it fills up (3-8 times a year), it will message you to schedule a pickup. Lasso will then take your recycling to a facility to ensure it's recycled----you can track it all the way.
