Highly Refined, Recycled CRT Glass
Funnel cullet |
Panel cullet |
Our wet-processed cullets are impurities-free and more cost efficient for
glass manufacturers
to use, as they can be blended with virgin material
at a higher ratio than dry-processed cullets.
What is a Wet-processing System?
The coatings shown on the left are completely removed from the glass with chemical solutions. |
With multiple applications of chemical solutions and water, impurities
- mainly the coatings
containing carbon, aluminum, and iron oxide - are removed from the original
CRT so systematically
that the wet-processed cullets can be almost as pure
as vergin material, exceeding the
Quality Standards designated by AEHA(Association for Electric Home Appliances) in Japan.
Environmentally Friendly
CRTs contain a high concentration of lead, making it essential to recycle
them in an environmentally
responsible manner. The wastewater purifying
plant adopted by our affiliated factory in Kyoto - specifically
designed
for separating lead from the wastewater - enables a thorough lead emission
control, the best
water purifying system available in Japan for CRT recycling.
