Abstract

Screens (monitors and TV-sets) actually undergo a rapid change in technology from cathode ray tubes to flat panel displays. Up until now, only small quantities of flat panel displays have been recorded at waste collection sites. Increasing quantities in the future make an adequate recycling infrastructure necessary. This paper aims to provide basic data on quantities, composition, recycling technology and experience from a case study on economic impacts of liquid crystal display screens recycling.
