The state of California has given Fresno-based Electronic Recyclers International approval to use a new system for CRT glass recycling, company officials said.

ERI imported the new system from Europe and will use the CRT system first in its Fresno facility, with plans to install it at other U.S. plants.

CEO John Shegerian said the CRT glass cleaning system solves many of the challenges presented to electronics recyclers when handling CRT glass.

“We´re very excited to be implementing a recycling solution technology for glass right here on site,” said Shegerian. “For too long glass has been a challenging part of the electronic recycling puzzle for many and we are proud to offer our industry a solution that is clean, efficient and fast.”
