A different process
for every type of lamp.
Gas discharge lamps include neon tubes, as well as the halogen metal vapour discharge lamps which are used to light up football stadiums. We first sort them by length and special shape in order to appropriately process them. REMONDIS relies on different processes depending on the type of lamp.
When recycling gas discharge lamps, we recover unmixed fractions that can be re-incorporated into the materials cycle at a rate of almost 100%. |
