Fluorescent Lamps Recycling

The use of energy-saving lamps and other fluorescent tubes can save electricity consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions than tungsten filament lamps, and can also save money in the long run. The energy-saving electric bile contains trace amounts of mercury, glass, metal and other recyclable materials. In addition to reducing waste disposal, the recovered electric bile can also be treated to reduce the impact on the environment. Therefore, the EPD encourages the public to choose energy-saving lamps and implements energy-saving lamps and fluorescent tube recycling programs to recycle waste lamps.
