A process that efficiently recycles liquid crystal displays (LCD) has won the Rushlight Waste Recycling Award. The Reflated Process is run by a consortium which includes Glass Technology Services (Glass Technology Services). It treats the waste LCD screens, recovering the maximum value from the panels including the liquid crystal, indium and glass, then integrates them into existing waste processing facilities. The Rushlight Awards, held in London, celebrate the significant environmental, technical and innovative achievements of companies in eh fields of renewable energy, clean fuels, power generation, water, recycling, waste and pollution management. "We';re all now used to flat panel TVs and monitors, but one thing that had not been considered was how to recycle them at the end of their useful life," explained Dr Brian Noble, manager of Glass Technology Services' Melting Department.
