The Washington Post’s in-depth profile of Redwood Materials’ Nevada operations, highlights the fact that battery recycling is a national security imperative. The ability to reclaim and refine metals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt offers the U.S. a chance to close the loop on materials and reduce reliance on foreign-controlled supply chains.
At M2i Global, this midstream capacity of refining, traceability, logistics, and infrastructure is exactly where we are focused. We are focused on building an integrated national network designed to turn secondary and recycled materials into active assets within strategic supply chains. Our work is designed to expand throughput beyond virgin feedstock into a circular model through partnerships.
Recycling is essential for achieving end-to-end material provenance from origin to application. This includes integrating battery black mass, factory scrap, and end-of-life products into traceable, verifiable U.S. refining pipelines.
In Episode 2 of The Minerals & Metals Initiative Podcast, guest Mahnaz Khan of Silverado Policy Accelerator highlights India’s potential role as a key recycling partner in U.S. mineral strategy. And the soon-to-be-released in Episode 3, we go even deeper with Hugo Schumann, who shares insights from inside the metals recycling industry itself.
