Environmental Protection Plan...

Our Batteries are recycled at a Secondary Lead Smelter that is in regulatory compliance with the U.S. EPA (EPA ID No. PAD002330165) and the Pennsylvania DEP, and has been chosen as a model for the lead recycling industry.

The batteries are collected, dismantled and separated. The lead is smelted, then refined. The plastic jars, cases and covers are cleaned, ground, extruded and molded into new plastic parts. The acid is reclaimed in an Acid Reclamation Plant, the first in the industry. As a matter of fact, this Acid Reclamation Plant holds the exclusive patents to a unique acid reclamation process. They use millions of gallons of clean, reclaimed acid in our new batteries, avoiding potentially hazardous acid disposal.

Even the sulfur fumes created during lead smelting are processed into a liquid fertilizer solution. This solution is shipped to fertilizer suppliers.

This closed-loop system is automated and computer-controlled, with no hazardous emissions.

Many people store or improperly dispose of old batteries. If you have a lead-acid battery that needs disposal, please bring it to CARQUEST for proper recycling. Remember that lead-acid batteries are virtually 100% recyclable, so you’ll help protect your environment, preserve raw materials, and may also stop a potential hazardous situation from occurring.
