Cathode ray tube (CRT) processing services
Sims Recycling Solutions has invested in advanced technology to recover hazardous substances such as lead containing glass and recover materials including cullet glass from televisions and monitors. Our two European CRT (cathode ray tube) processing facilities service our European operations and a wide range of other organisations.
The technology is so advanced, a high percentage of cullet glass is recycled for the production of new computer monitors and TVs, saving scare resources and the more intensive energy required for processing virgin materials.
A range of ferrous and non ferrous metals and plastics are also recovered from the dismantling process for recycling.
You can arrange delivery of your end of life televisions and computer monitors to your local Sims Recycling Solutions or Sims Metal Management centre, or access our pan-European logistics infrastructure.
Sims Recycling Solutions has two specialist CRT recycling centres in Europe:
- Echt in the Netherlands
- Ellesmere Port in the UK
An insight into the processes involved can be viewed via the interactive presentation below.
Electronics recyclers can email us or contact us on +44 (0)1784 249 500 to discuss processing of your recovered CRTs.
