About ecosteps
ecosteps is a global service offering from Johnson Controls Power Solutions that provides for a simple and environmentally responsible way to recycle used lead-acid batteries. Consumers simply bring their used batteries to any ecosteps certified automotive retail location or mechanic. These certified partners give these batteries back to Johnson Controls so that they can be recycled.
Up to 99 percent of a lead-acid battery is recyclable and can be reused in new batteries or in other applications. The recycling of battery materials is completed in accordance with the highest global environmental standards. ecosteps is just one way that Johnson Controls demonstrates its ongoing commitment to sustainability and the preservation of natural resources.
The ecosteps program in Europe is partnering with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), an international non-governmental organization for the conservation, research and restoration of the environment. Part of the proceeds from ecosteps will fund WWF’s Global 200 project, which aims to provide environmental protection to the world’s unique eco-regions. These eco-regions include those with exceptional levels of biodiversity, including: tropical rain and dry forests; desert springs; polar seas; tundra; and mangroves.
