Ecoglass Secures LG Philips Contract

Television and monitor recycler Ecoglass Recycling Inc., Lakewood, N.J., has entered into an agreement with LG Philips to ship its monitor glass to the company.

LG Philips is a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) used in televisions and monitors. The company has six production facilities—three in Asia, two in Europe and one in Brazil.

According to its news release, Ecoglass will send recovered CRT glass cullet to LG Philips for use in the production of new CRTs.

In May, Ecoglass sent more than two million pounds of recovered CRT glass to LG Phillips, and the company has subsequently asked Ecoglass to ship as much of the product as it can generate. The agreement has prompted Ecoglass to consider an expansion of its facility.
