Body shops, cargo companies, fleet maintenance shops, motorcycle repair shops, vocational schools, and government operations managers can all lessen their harmful impact upon the earth simply by making the switch to ABSOBON.

Wheel Weight Recycling

Lead Wheel Weight Recycling Program

Another way that WURTH endeavors to protect the environment is through its Lead Wheel Weight Recycling Program. Wheel weights are clipped to the rims of car wheels to help balance the tires. Every car in America is sold with a wheel weight attached to each wheel, and the vast majority of these weights are made of lead.

Lead has been linked to brain damage, learning disabilities, and permanent nervous system damage. For this reason, lead was banned from paint and gasoline in the 1970s. However, despite these risks, lead has not been federally banned in wheel weights, though several states have banned wheel weights within their borders.

The lead in wheel weights may cause little harm when attached to a car, but all too often wheel weights become loose and fall off. These lost wheel weights end up in storm sewers, contaminating waterways and land. WURTH is working to reduce the harmful effects of lead wheel weights by offering wheel weights made of steel and zinc.

It is a well known fact that making the switch to zinc and/or steel wheel weights could significantly reduce the harmful effects of lead upon the environment. WURTH makes it easy for customers within automotive industry to make the switch to steel or zinc wheel weights.

With the company’s environmental compliance assistance program, customers inform WURTH that they have lead wheel weights that they would like to properly dispose of and WURTH provides them with the necessary packaging and pre-paid postage to recycle their wheel weights with ease.
