Abstract :
The challenge of recycling CRT glass in a safe and environmentally friendly manner has reached a technological fork in the road. One is glass-to-glass recycling where CRT glass is re-melted to form new CRTs. The second fork is glass-to-lead recycling where the CRT glass is re-melted for its silica and lead content during some lead manufacturing processes.
