Hennessy Industries’ Bada wheel weight division was recently recognized by Sears Holding Corp. Bada received Sears’ 2014 Partners in Transformation Award for its implementation of a closed-loop recycling program in partnership with Sears Automotive. 
The recycling program starts with the collection of used wheel weights from Sears shops, then Bada oversees the sorting, separating and recycling process.
“Recyclers can’t mix lead with certain non-lead wheel weights, such as zinc, so they’re starting to only accept 100% lead containers,” said George Hoffman, manager of automotive assets at Sears. “The closed-loop program we created with Bada ensures that we maximize our recycling efforts.”
