State Regulators Propose Emergency Rule To Address Glut of Cathode Ray Tubes, Glass

摘要

California regulators have proposed an emergency regulation to ease recycling and disposal requirements for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and CRT glass to address decreasing demand for materials in older television sets and computer monitors. With the switch to flat screen video display technologies, the use of CRTs has been phased out dramatically, reducing the demand for recycled CRT glass, according to the state Department of Toxic Substances Control.
