1 Where can we throw the bulbs?
It can be argued that bulbs, because they can contain glass components, are placed in green containers, but this is not true. In addition to glass, the bulbs have many other components that must be separated before manipulating them. That is why the bulbs have to go, directly, to a particular place: A clean point. To facilitate this mission and properly recycle these waste, associations such as Ecoembes, or especially Ambilamp (non -profit organization that aims to develop a system for collecting and treatment of this waste) has also established other possible points of collection of used bulbs used , where any citizen can take them. In general, these points can be found in distributors or electrical stores (such as hardware stores, lighting stores or supermarkets), and any citizen can carry their old bulbs and contribute to the recycling of fluorescent, low consumption, discharge bulbs or LEDs.
2 How are the bulbs recycled?
The bulb recycling process begins with the separation of the materials that compose them. Mercury and phosphorus are separated after the distillation process for subsequent safe storage. Plastics are sent to plastic recycling plants, and glass to cement plants, glass and ceramic industries, and metal founditions. All this will give life to new objects.
