Electronic Recyclers International Introduces North America to Groundbreaking Glass Recycling Technology
FRESNO, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation's leading recycler
of electronic waste, has received approval by the State of California to
utilize a technology system for the recycling of glass from old
televisions, computer monitors and cathode ray tubes (CRTs). Glass has
long been a challenge for recyclers of electronics, but ERI's new
technology, utilizing a proprietary cleaning system, solves the problem,
enabling ERI to clean and process glass on site in a safe and
environmentally responsible way.
ERI is the first North American organization to use this superior
cleaning glass technology, developed in Europe. It is already in place
at ERI's Fresno, California location and is being installed at all other
ERI locations around the country.
"We're very excited to be implementing a recycling solution technology
for glass right here on site," said John Shegerian, ERI's Chairman and
CEO. "Our hats are off to the State of California, who worked closely
with us to review and approve this technology. Their forward thinking
openness to embrace new technology to benefit our environment is truly
commedable. For too long glass has been a challenging part of the
electronic recycling puzzle for many and we are proud to offer our
industry a solution that is clean, efficient and fast."
Shegerian added that ERI has gained the rights to utilize the technology
in the US after researching and evaluating its success in European
countries such as Italy, Germany, Scotland and England. The technology
is the European gold standard in glass processing and is now being used
in 18 nations there.
