Circular economy is an instrument that allows efficient resources allocation, minimizing the environmental impact by returning waste into the production cycle that is transformed into secondary raw materials. A lower environmental impact implies the use of energy-efficient production systems with a high rate of innovation. This is what the company FG recycling System, in Belpasso (Sicily) aims to do: this is a case of excellence in the field of RAEE recycling, partly thanks to the upcoming execution of a crt glass recycling process deriving from old cathode-ray tube televisions. In fact, the largest percentage of RAEE, about 80%, is represented by televisions and computers (whose functional operation is estimated at about 10 and 4 years, respectively) containing the cathode ray tube or kinescope, which represents two thirds of the total weight of a television or monitor and consists of 85% glass. The treatment and recovery process in the project aims at subjecting certain process outputs to inert matrix, deriving from the already operating production lines, as well as part of inert waste covered by the list of those already authorized by the measures in the possession of FG S.r.l. There are multiple benefits of applying the circular economy model, including reducing the need for new demands of virgin materials and energy, and the creating an economic convenience deriving from a new and cutting-edge pioneering machine.
