Johnson Controls (JCI) has broken ground on a fully integrated battery recycling facility in Florence, South Carolina.

The Florence Recycling Center, slated for completion during 2012 and to be operated by JCI’s power solutions business, represents a capital investment of more than $150 million, the company said. It will create an estimated 250 new jobs and approximately 1,000 indirect jobs in the area. The facility is the first facility of its kind to receive an air permit in the United States in nearly 20 years.
