Quest Resource Provides a Solution to Destroy All Takata Recalled Airbags

THE COLONY, TX--(Marketwired - June 07, 2016) - Quest Resource Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: QRHC) announced today it has begun offering what it believes is a safe, sustainable, turnkey solution to destroy all Takata recalled airbags.

As recently cited in a CNN article, a May expansion of the Takata airbag recall by The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) called for an additional recall of 35 to 40 million airbags. Including the previously recalled 28.8 million airbags, the total recall is now estimated at more than 60 million airbags.

Responsibility (and liability) to manage the removal and replacement of recalled airbags has fallen largely on automotive dealerships.

Quest's airbag recycling program, which is being offered to over 12,000 dealership and automotive aftermarket client locations, is designed to ensure the destruction of recalled airbags to prevent the recalled items from being sold in the secondary market, while reducing the 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 CEO. "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. "
