Car batteries are the most recycled product in America.
Automotive batteries are also known as lead-acid batteries.
A typical car battery is made of 60% lead, nearly all of which can be recycled. Most of it is reused over and over again in new batteries. Your battery probably contains about three pounds of plastic, which can be reclaimed to create new batteries and other products. The sulfuric acid can be recycled and used in new batteries. It can also be converted to sodium sulfate to create fertilizer, dyes and other products. It can even be neutralized, purified, tested, and eventually released as clean water.
We can take your old battery here at any one of our parts departments at Park Auto Group. Keep thinking GREEN !!!!
