Redivivus expanding to Los Angeles

Lithium-ion battery recycler Redivivus, Colorado Springs, Colorado, plans to open a “first-of-its-kind” operational facility in Los Angeles, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy.

The new facility will serve as the hub for the company's responsible service approach, employing specialized vehicles to collect and transport battery materials to the facility for processing. Redivivus says the implementation of this service not only reinforces its commitment to safe and efficient battery recycling, but also represents a revenue driver to advance the development of its Redi-Shred mobile battery shredding vehicle technology.
