Battery Industry Recycling Facts
In the recycling process, the lead is separated from the polypropylene
and fed into a furnace for smelting.
The lead is then returned to Johnson Controls for use in new
batteries.
The polypropylene is washed and also recycle.
Lastly, the acid is treated in the smelter's wastewater treatment
plant and neutralized.
Our manufacturing plants build batteries using equipment and
processes designed with pollution control in mind. All facilities
are properly maintained and permitted per government requirements.
We deliver fresh batteries to our more than 10,000 customer
locations on a regular basis.
On delivery, we pick up spent batteries at each location.
The spent batteries are transported to a licensed smelter for
recycling.
Our customers participate in the process, but Johnson Controls takes
the initiative and the responsibility.
Our customers utilize our spent battery pick-up service because it's
simple and profitable. Plus, it's the right thing to do for our
Earth.
