Glass accounts for 57 percent of the weight of a television. To recycle it, the CRT must first be removed from the set, along with its reinforcement band. Heat is used to separate its front and rear glass sections, which have different glass compositions. Impurities are removed and the glass is then crushed to form small cullets that can be reused in manufacture.
