CRT (Cathode Ray Tube - Televisions and Monitors) Recycling

Recycling Lives has developed a unique CRT processing system which safely reduces a CRT to its constituent parts effectively liberating valuable raw materials.

We see it as an unrivalled service that saves everyone’s time, money and most importantly, the environment.

Our specially designed vehicles collect computer monitors and televisions from various sites throughout the UK. We operate a bespoke bar-coding system to track individual units through the process providing a complete audit trail for our customers.

After undergoing a sophisticated testing procedure the units are professionally disassembled and processed through our CRT recycling line, all in accordance with the WEEE Regulations.

Plastic, wood, metal and glass components are separated and recycled to re-enter manufacturing process as raw materials. The CRTs themselves are separated using a thermo-shock, hot wire separating technique to recover clear glass with a phosphor essence layer, steel shadow and leaded funnel section.

You can bring your old monitor or television to any of our centres where you can be sure it will be recycled in accordance with all legislation and its constituent materials put to the best possible use.

Recycling Lives offers good Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recycling Lives operates nationally to provide a wide range of recycling activities to Local Authorities, commercial organisations and the public. Recycling Lives provides housing, training and long term employment in the recycling sector, to people who would otherwise be homeless; including ex-armed forces personnel, probation and those from chaotic backgrounds.

Each Recycling Lives centre provides up to 48 quality en-suite rooms; training and office facilities; incubator units for entrepreneurs in social enterprise; industrial space for our recycling processes and retail space to sell good manufactured by Recycling Lives from recycled waste.

We do not ask for, or rely on 'gifts' from you, as we always pay fair prices for scrap metal recycling, plastic and other recyclables. By selling your waste to Recycling Lives your organisation helps us to be sustainable and you to show good corporate social responsibility.

Our social enterprise 'manages' good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on your behalf, by ensuring that our recycling activities are carried out by employees that would otherwise be marginalised or even forgotten by society.
