Re-New-Able Technologies has partnered with Redivivus to establish Illinois’ first scalable lithium-ion battery recycling facility. This collaboration combines Redivivus’ advanced recycling technology with Re-New-Able’s commitment to sustainability, aiming to create a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution for battery recycling.
The partnership includes a purchase order for the Redi-Shred process, a key component of the facility, and is supported by Redivivus’ expertise in turning innovative concepts into practical, operational solutions.
“This is a landmark moment for Illinois,” said Ravi Gade, Co-founder and CTO of Re-New-Able Technologies. “By setting new standards for safe battery transportation and recycling, we aim to position Illinois as a leader in clean energy innovation while ensuring a sustainable future for the battery industry. With Redivivus’ experience, we’re confident in our ability to safely process these batteries and help drive this change.”
The new facility will be able to process batteries of all states of charge and health, sourced from local businesses and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) factories. It will also help manage growing battery waste in auto-wrecking yards across the state. By deploying modular units close to suppliers, the facility will reduce logistics challenges and build stronger partnerships with automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers, improving efficiency.
“There are very few black mass sources available in the U.S.,” said Erika Guerrero, CEO of Redivivus. “Localizing the Redi-Shred process with Re-New-Able helps minimize costs while ensuring the highest safety standards when processing batteries at scale.”
This partnership is setting a new benchmark for the battery recycling industry, redefining how materials are recovered, improving logistics, and reducing environmental impact. It also creates a scalable model for future recycling efforts.
