MAKITA Recognized for Recycling Efforts


Makita® U.S.A., Inc., has been recognized for outstanding battery recycling efforts with the Call2Recycle® 2018 Leader in Sustainability Award.

Call2Recycle is the country’s first and largest consumer battery recycling program. The Leader in Sustainability Award recognizes top performing program particpants for their commitment to battery recycling. Makita’s engagement contributed to the diversion of 7.2 million pounds of batteries from U.S. landfills through the Call2Recycle program in 2018.

“Makita’s active participation in the Call2Recycle program underscores their work to encourage and promote sustainability,” said Carl Smith, CEO & president of Call2Recycle, Inc. “We’re proud to recognize Makita as a leader in sustainability and spotlight their battery recycling contributions.”

Since the mid-1990’s, Makita has worked with Call2Recycle to develop new ways to collect, package, and ship used batteries at the end of their life cycle to recycling centers.

“Makita is the innovation leader in cordless, and as we deliver more and more battery-powered tools to contractors we recognize the need to recycle batteries at the end of their life cycle,” said Wayne Hart, communications manager, Makita U.S.A. “Makita was one of the first power tool manufacturers to join Call2Recycle in these efforts, and we pioneered battery recycling programs through our service centers. Makita is proud of these efforts and remains committed to working with Call2Recycle on this important initiative.”
