Take a tour through Panasonic's CRT & flat panel TV recycling center

by Richard Lawler posted Jul 3rd 2009 at 4:44PM


Less remarked upon in our CES 2009 coverage was the green factor consistently mentioned in many presentations, with various manufacturers promising more responsible production facilities, and plans to offer recycling for all the old televisions that will be replaced in the years to come. Courtesy of AV Watch and Google Translate, we can take a tour through one of Panasonic's recycling facilities, where the latest breakthrough uses a laser beam to separate the front and rear glass of CRTs, allowing for three times faster processing. If there's anything better than machine translation, old TVs headed for certain doom, and lasers, we have no idea what it is.

Sony's Green Glove recycling service hauls away your old TV when buying a BRAVIA

Apparently launching its Take Back Recycling Program just wasn't enough for Sony Electronics, who has now announced a Green Glove delivery service for those looking to have a new 32-inch (or greater) BRAVIA HDTV delivered. At its core, the service provides in-home delivery and setup of one's new HDTV, and the same kind folks who show up to handle that also haul away your old set for recycling. Or to sell it on eBay, you never know.

Sony offering $100 off BRAVIAs for your unwanted television

Promotions like this are far from revolutionary, but with piles of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes about to consume any remaining free space in your home, we figured you may as well get $100 back for that ancient TV sitting on the junk pile. Effectively immediately, anyone that drops off an old television for recycling (locations listed here) will receive a $100 coupon towards the purchase of a BRAVIA HDTV. Unfortunately, the coupon is only valid at Sony Style stores, at SonyStyle.com or through Sony's telesales office, and any non-Sony dropped off will lower the coupon's value by "$25 - $50." So yeah, we appreciate the effort here, but the terms and conditions aren't exactly the most desirable.
