Quest Resource Holding Corp. has announced what it believes to be a safe, sustainable, turnkey solution to destroy millions of recalled Takata airbags.

The company’s airbag recycling program, which is being offered to more than 12,000 dealership and automotive aftermarket client locations, is designed with two goals: to prevent recalled items from being sold in the secondary market, and to reduce dealerships’ environmental footprint.

 “We believe our easy-to-use solution will help dealerships across North America navigate the uncertainty about what to do with the massive influx of recalled airbags,” said Ray Hatch, Quest’s chief executive officer. “We will help national dealership groups properly handle the recalled airbags by not only destroying them, but also by recycling the recovered plastics and metal and by delivering the certificate of destruction the dealerships need to be reimbursed from the manufacturer.”

After last month’s recall expansion by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the total number of recalled Takata airbags is estimated at upward of 60 million. Dealerships are largely responsible for both managing the removal of and replacing the defective units.
