JET helps companies meet environmental requirements at the local, state, national, and international levels. We focus on the waste and compliance issues that come with lithium batteries and the industries that use them most: oil services, data centers, and technology, defense, and aerospace.
Compliance Support
We work with you as much or as little as you need:
| Service | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Periodic compliance evaluations | Scheduled reviews that find gaps before a regulator does |
| Onsite compliance support | Day-to-day help from JET staff at your facility |
| External audits | Full-scope audits against regulations and your corporate standards |
| Environmental management | Help building and maintaining your environmental program |
Waste Management Compliance
Lithium batteries become regulated waste when you retire them. We help you manage that waste correctly from the moment it’s generated to final recycling:
- Universal waste and hazardous waste rules (40 CFR 273 and RCRA)
- Waste classification and documentation
- Storage area setup and inspections
- Employee training required under waste rules
- [Confirm: state-specific battery and e-waste rules]
For data centers: UPS and BESS replacements can generate large volumes of battery waste at once. We help you plan for decommissioning before it happens.
Cross-Border Shipments
Exporting or importing end-of-life batteries often triggers the Basel Convention, OECD transboundary rules, and national permit requirements. We:
- Prepare and manage import and export permits
- Work directly with environmental agencies and customs
- Keep shipping documents consistent across permits, carriers, and customs records
Recycler and Vendor Audits
Your liability doesn’t end when batteries leave your site. We audit recyclers, transporters, and warehouses to confirm they meet regulatory requirements and your corporate standards.

Why JET
Our team knows what these rules require, why they exist, and how regulators enforce them. We’ve built working relationships with agencies at the local, state, provincial, and national levels over more than 25 years. That history helps when a permit stalls or a shipment gets held.
