ECS Refining, a recycling and end-of-life services company, has announced that it is partnering with Dlubak Glass Co. to form a joint venture to provide end markets for glass from cathode ray tubes (CRT) generated in the electronic recycling industry. The new company, Regenesys Glass Processing, will, says ECS Refining, combine 110 years of experience to offer a blend of offerings and knowledge in CRT glass recycling, metal processing and refining. Regenesys Glass Processing will use technologies from both ECS Refining and Dlubak extract metal oxides from CRT glass and chemically blend glass for the automotive, fiberglass, bead, and lighting industries, with an expected capacity of several hundred tons of CRT glass per month. Initial processing facility locations are planned for California, Ohio and Texas, with phased expansions to be determined in the future. Dlubak is expert in working with glass of all types, with the technology and know-how to blend glass for use in a variety of manufacturing scenarios, while ECS Refining is expert in metallurgical processes, so it“s a match of great talents, says Curt Spivey, VP of corporate development for ECS Refining and incoming general manager of Regenesys Glass Processing. The e-waste industry needs a solution to its CRT glass problem – one that goes beyond simply separating panel glass from funnel glass. We“re eager to work with anyone that needs a safe, environmentally responsible way to handle CRTs.
