The new technology utilizes a proprietary cleaning system to clean and process glass on site of the electronic recycling in an environmentally responsible way.
The state approval gives ERI the right to utilize the technology in the US after researching and evaluating its performance in European countries such as Italy, Germany, Scotland and England.
The new glass recycling technology, which has been developed by ERI in Europe, is already in place at ERI’s Fresno, California location and is being installed at all other ERI locations around the country.
ERI chairman and CEO John Shegerian said that the company is very excited to be implementing a recycling solution technology for glass right here on site and appreciates the State of California, which worked closely with the company to review and approve this technology.
“Their openness to embrace new technology to benefit our environment is commendable. 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,” Shegerian said.
