RESPONSIBLE RECYCLING

Johnson Controls is the industry leader in recycling lead-acid automotive batteries. Our ongoing efforts have helped make automotive batteries the most recycled consumer product in the United States. In fact, more than 97 percent of all lead-acid automotive batteries are recycled. And automotive batteries made in North America today are made of up to 80 percent recycled materials.

 

As the leading global manufacturer and recycler of car batteries, Johnson Controls applauds efforts to raise environmental standards to world-class levels. Our operations in Mexico, and in other places around the world, exemplify our long history of manufacturing and recycling batteries safely and responsibly.

Johnson Controls uses a closed loop manufacturing and recycling process, which means a used battery never leaves our process from the time it is picked up to the time it is recycled and delivered back to our manufacturing facility to be used in a new battery.
