You see fluorescent lamps everywhere – in offices, stores, warehouses, street corners, even in homes. So how can these lamps pose such enormous environmental and health risks?Click for more
When it comes to eWaste, NLR has a strict “No Landfill” & high reuse policy. eWaste is fast becoming a global problem. NLR is fully permitted for the recycling & resuse of many electronics.
Most batteries contain hazardous chemicals and are regulated as Universal Waste. These chemicals can contaminate the environment if they are discarded with ordinary trash.
Mercury-containing fluorescent lamps are one of the most energy efficient lighting sources available. However, the light ballasts, which perform two functions: limiting the current and providing the starting kick to ionize the gas in the fluorescent tube(s), may contain PCBs.
Light bulbs aren’t the only items in your business that contain hazardous materials. You’ll find landfill-banned mercury containing items virtually everywhere that you look.
