There may be other listservs available that can address your question more readily, however, I did spend some time talking with my colleagues here at DPPEA regarding lamps that are TCLP compliant. It would seem that the list of lamps that "pass" the TCLP test is a short one. The lamps we are aware of are the Phillips ALTO, Sylvania ECOLOGIC and General Electric ECOLUX (see the attached links for further information). What constitutes a TCLP passing grade is rather contriversial. Phillips Alto claims to pass TCLP because of its lower mercury content. GE ECOLUX and Sylvania ECOLOGIC use additives such as ascorbic acid and copper-carbonate to prevent leaching of mercury. We invite any other listserv members to chime in if you have comments or know of other manufacturers of LCMs that pass the TCLP test.

This paper addresses the issue from a scientific perspective. Executive Summary The Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is a test that is used to determine if a waste is hazardous under the Federal Resource Conservation Recovery Act. The TCLP is designed to simulate landfill disposal where the used product will be co-mingled with other municipal waste. Currently available fluorescent lamps that pass the TCLP do not do so simply by lowering the mercury dose. Such lamps instead rely on the properties of other unique lamp components, which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Removal of the unique components will generally cause the lamps to fail the TCLP. The use of "additives" to enable lamps to pass the TCLP is permissible and has the same beneficial environmental effect as the use of components that are not additives. January 2000 The TCLP "The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is designed to simulate the leaching a waste will undergo if disposed in a sanitary landfill." During the test, a sample of lamp waste "is extracted with the appropriate buffered acetic acid solution for 18 � 2 hours."1 The resulting extract is analyzed for certain metals (e.g., mercury) and the concentrations are compared to specified regulatory limits. The TCLP design assumes that the potentially hazardous waste comprises at most 5% of all the material in a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill; that is, the wastes are co-mingled with other wastes in the landfill. All major lamp manufacturers market some types of fluorescent lamps that pass the TCLP test, i.e., yield TCLP extracts with less than 0.2 milligrams of mercury per liter. There have been claims by one manufacturer, Philips, that its lamps pass the TCLP without the use of additives and "without sacrificing life, light output or performance." In fact, all TCLP-passing lamps contain enough mercury to fail the TCLP test if all the mercury were to dissolve during the test. It is only because of other unique components in the lamps that soluble mercury is converted to an insoluble form during the TCLP test to enable the lamps to pass the test. Mercury in a failed fluorescent lamp is present as elemental or liquid mercury and soluble ionic mercury. While elemental mercury, Hg0, is virtually insoluble in the TCLP leaching fluid, ionic mercury, Hg2+, dissolves easily. As a fluorescent lamp is used, some portion of the elemental mercury is converted to soluble ionic mercury. The mercury in solution at the end of the TCLP depends on reactions occurring during the TCLP. During the TCLP, some of the soluble ionic mercury, Hg2+, may be converted to insoluble elemental mercury, Hg0, by reaction with lamp parts made of reducing metals (e.g., iron) or other reducing agents present within the leaching vessel. Likewise, some of the elemental mercury, Hg0, may be converted to soluble ionic mercury, Hg2+, through reactions with oxygen and metals within the leaching vessel. Factors affecting the TCLP. TCLP results on a lamp (i.e., the mercury concentration in the TCLP fluid after 18 hours of extraction) will depend on a number of factors, the most important of which are: Amounts of ionic and elemental mercury, Hg2+ and Hg0, in the lamp Metal content (type and amount) of lamp components Acid-base content of lamp components Other chemical components, e.g., cements, phosphors Oxygen pressure Lamp weight For a given lamp type, the mercury concentration in the TCLP extract at the end of the test is determined primarily both by the amount of Hg2+ originally in the lamp and by the metals and other chemicals of which the lamp is constructed. 1 EPA SW-846, "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste (Physical/Chemical Methods)," Chapter 7, "Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure," page SEVEN-13 TCLP-Passing Fluorescent Lamp Designs All TCLP-passing fluorescent lamps depend on one of the following unique components to ensure passing: Metal parts capable of reducing ionic Hg2+ to elemental Hg0 Iron, copper, etc. (Sylvania's US Pat. No. 5,229,687) Soluble material capable of reducing ionic Hg2+ to elemental Hg0 Material capable of enhancing the reduction of ionic Hg2+ by metals. Compounds of copper, other metals and chlorine Effect of Unique Components on TCLP Results The three large lamp manufacturers employ different unique components that ensure that their TCLP passing lamps pass the TCLP test under virtually all circumstances. The effect of the unique components on the TCLP results is illustrated in Figure 1 for a 34-watt Cool White lamp. Without the unique components, lamps with as little as 4.0 mg of soluble ionic mercury would yield a TCLP value of over 0.3 mg per liter, above the 0.2 mg/l EPA limit. In the presence of iron shields, which are used in Philips' ALTO� lamps, the TCLP results are below the limit for lamps containing up to about 7 mg of soluble ionic mercury. With Sylvania's ECOLOGICTM and General Electric's ECOLUX� lamps, the TCLP results are well below the limit for lamps containing 10 mg of soluble ionic mercury. Importance of Iron Shields in Failed ALTO� Lamps The unique components in Philips' ALTO� lamps are the two iron cathode shields. The importance of the iron shields in failed ALTO� lamps is demonstrated in Figures 2 and 3. These figures illustrate the TCLP results obtained by two laboratories (one independent) on 25 failed F40CW/RS/EW/ALTO and F32T8/TL741/ALTO lamps. The 11 T12's failed (i.e. no longer useable) on an industry-standard life test between 10,000 and 15,000 hours. The 14 T8's were removed from service at customer locations due to low lumen output caused by mercury depletion. Both groups of failed lamps (4 T12 & 6 T8) passed the TCLP when tested whole. However, when the iron shields were removed prior to the TCLP, all (7 T12 and 8 T8) failed the test. Additives or Not Iron shields are a functional design feature of Philips ALTO� lamps sold in the US. They are not, however, essential to lamp operation and are not in fact used in Sylvania or General Electric lamps. The presence of these components ensures that ALTO� lamps are TCLP-passing. Even if the iron shields are construed to be additives, it is perfectly permissible for a manufacturer to design a product to pass the TCLP test, and it is environmentally responsible to design products to minimize soluble mercury. To suggest otherwise is wrong and irresponsible. Furthermore, in a landfill situation, there is an equal likelihood of the mercury reacting with unique components, whether they are additives or not. In reality, the mercury is far more likely to react with the abundance of other materials contained in adjacent wastes. Figure 1.

The main objective of the project was to lower their administration buildings' energy costs, targeting approximately 1200 4-lamp fluorescent fixtures with 34W T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts. Since the project criteria were not limited to energy savings, the OUC surveyed employees about their lighting and performed test installations before deciding to retrofit these lighting fixtures with two OCTRON XP/ECO lamps and one QUICKTRONIC PLUS ballast. OUC chose this system for its energy savings, high lumen output, 24,000-hour lamp life and better color rendition. Features like SYLVANIA's QUICK 60+ warranty are expected to provide additional maintenance cost savings. Source: OUC Lighting Retrofit Project Report Back to the top Did you know that?

LL 6-1999 covers integral electronic compact fluorescent lamps. It was developed to establish a uniform method of sample preparation for integral electronic compact fluorescent lamps in order to minimize the inherent variability associated with TCLP testing of such lamps. The standard also specifies other important aspects related to the leaching process that are not specifically defined for lamps by the EPA's SW-846 "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste (Physical/Chemical Methods)," but that have contributed to test variability if not properly controlled. "This standard is the latest in a series of standards developed specifically to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of testing various lamps according to EPA's Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, or TCLP," says Edward Yandek of GE Lighting. "TCLP is important since it is used to determine if certain lamps need to be disposed of as hazardous waste under federal and state requirements. LL6 establishes sample preparation procedures for compact fluorescent lamps which contain an integral electronic ballast. The procedures outlined make it much easier for those running the TCLP test to prepare samples in a uniform manner, greatly reducing the risk that sample preparation will bias the test results." LL 7-1999 provides a generic designation system for pin-based compact fluorescent lamps and T5 twin fluorescent lamps. The number of different lamp types and the varying terminology used by lamp manufacturers to describe these lamps can cause confusion in the marketplace. This generic designation system helps identify the various lamps, simplifying specification and re-ordering. "This standard is an updated revision of the generic designation system that was originally developed by the NEMA Lamp Section. Its purpose is to provide a simple standardized method for designating the many different types of plug-in CFL lamps that have evolved since the mid 1980's," says Yandek, noting that it "establishes a generic designation system that is employed by the lighting industry to make it simpler for end users to match up the proper lamps with their corresponding ballasts and luminaires." Peter Bleasby of Osram Sylvania, Inc. urges all NEMA and non-NEMA manufacturers of lamp ballasts to use this generic designation system. LL 6-1999 may be purchased for $22.00 and LL 7-1999 for $16.00 by contacting Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179 (within the U.S.), (303) 397-7956 (international), (303) 397-2740 (fax), or on the Internet at www.global.ihs.com. NEMA is the leading trade association in the United States representing the interests of electroindustry manufacturers. Founded in 1926 and headquartered near Washington, D.C., its 550 member companies manufacture products used in the generation, transmission and distribution, control, and end-use of electricity. Annual shipments of these products total $100 billion. ### This article is written by: Anne Brinser Standards Editor (703) 841-3222 ann_brinser@nema.org xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Provide outstanding performance and pass the EPA Toxicity test. Plus... XL version provides 20% longer life. Now there's a family of reduced mercury fluorescent lamps designed for optimum performance and environmental responsibility - introducing GE Ecolux. Passes the EPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test,* substantially lowering disposal costs. Lamps which pass the TCLP test are considered non-hazardous waste in most states**, in these areas, use of GE Ecolux lamps will significantly reduce lamp disposal costs. Delivers outstanding lamp performance Long life... XL version lasts 30,000 hours (12 hours per start) Excellent light output High lumen maintenance Ecolux is available in T8 and T12 Lamps: 4-foot SP/SPX T8(tm) with Starcoat� Highest CRI, more light over life - GE exclusive Starcoat technology provides the best color rendering (78 CRI for SP versions, 86 CRI for SPX) and highest lumen maintenance (95%) in the industry. 38% Energy Cost Savings - 4-foot T8 systems (T8 lamp operated on electronic ballast) reduce energy costs 38% while maintaining 98% of the light output of a standard F40CW System. With a 4-lamp T8 system, you save $136.00 in energy costs over lamp life (@ 10� per KWH). 4-foot and 8-foot T12 Watt-Miser� Energy Efficiency - 15% to 20% energy cost saving vs. standard full wattage T12 lamps, while maintaining 86% to 88% of the light output. Available in popular SP color (70-73 CRI) for superior lumen output and color rendering. Economical cool white color also available. *Based upon GE Lighting TCLP test protocal.

Bridges need to be built with the "competing" environmental efforts associated with air quality, water quality, green space preservation, energy efficiency, etc. Only by making sure waste reduction is integrated into the entire sustainability picture will it get the attention it deserves on an ongoing basis (instead of during a landfill crisis, hurricane, flood, or other event). I have heard of sustainability workshops/conferences where speakers presented on just about every environmental issue but solid waste. Our representatives were not on the agenda, they were in the audience. That needs to change.

It makes recycling very convenient and most people participate. Two areas that Cary and many other cities struggle with is dealing with household hazardous waste and water supply. It is my understanding that household hazardous waste are not currently collected in Cary and this likely results in people dumping these waste in the street, sewer system, down the drain or sending them off with the regular trash. Water will be one of the biggest challenges facing NC in the coming years. With the large population increase, water demand has escalated tremendously in Cary and around the state. -----Original Message----- From: JKBL (Jack Blackmer) [mailto:jkbl@novozymes.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 5:12 PM To: 'KHales@ci.cary.nc.us'; p2assist@ncc-1701d.p2pays.org Subject: RE: [P2assist] Most Significant Environmental Issue Making it as easy as possible for people to recycle (such as the Town of Cary's curbside pick-up) goes a long way toward its success.

I ask anyone that gives me the opportunity if, when they go to K-Mart, WalMart,etc...if they ever look for recycled content in the products they buy. Typically the answer is an embarrassed "no". How can we expect manufacturers to use recycled material in their products if there is no demand from the consumer? Especially in a soft market like today, when off-spec virgin resins are being sold as cheap as re-pelletized plastic? Where is the manufacturer's motivation? It's certainly much easier to use virgin than deal with the potential contamination issues with recycled plastic, especially regrind. As a business owner, people not in this industry are forever telling me I must have a goldmine, and on the contrary, since opening in '98, I've eaten more hotdogs that I care to think about. I've been in this industry since the mid 80's and EVERY company I've worked for, and there have been several, have filed bankruptcy. There have certainly been other contributing factors than the recycling industrie's woes, but I have to remind folks that we're not in Europe, where recycling is so strong, but in America, where we are given a choice and this industry is still in the "toddler" stages. I have to challenge consumers to talk to managers at the department stores and demand more products with recycled content, be it plastic, paper, glass, and so on. I'll pose this question to those of you out there in this industry...When you go shopping, are YOU making it a point to look for products that have recycled content? See, most of us are guilty of this lack of effort, even if we are in this industry. Susan Newman-President New Life Plastic Recycling, Inc.

People will not look past the price tag in the U.S. unless there is a significant quality difference that make the more expensive product a better value. We have a policy here at our office to buy recycled and we will pay up to 5% over the cost of virgin. This rarely happens with paper because there is always some great deal/sale on virgin paper that probably has timber price supports in the background somewhere, never mind the shear volume. ON the other side of the coin, numerous products containing recycled content do not post it on the package because they know it does not impact sales and their goal is to purchase the cheapest feed-stock available, whether virgin or whatever, so long as it meets spec. This is why overall collection, processing, transport, and other program efficiencies are so important. We have to compete. To do so the industry also needs a level playing field which, in my opinion, involves full cost accounting for the goods we consume. These issues, of course, point us to increased gvt. involvement in policy, which "interfere" with our supposedly free market system. Now take into account the new "global economy." Hmmm, looks like the circle of recycling is more complex than I could have ever imagined when I also got started in the 80's. I would love to here more comment from private sector industry folks using recycled content feed-stock on these issues.

Closing the loop is essential to the survival of recycling programs. It takes bold entrepreneurs to work in the areas of collection and processing, but their work is all in vain unless we are there closing the loop behind them by purchasing goods made from recycled materials. On the marketing side, North Carolina's Recycling Business Assistance Center (RBAC) http://www.p2pays.org/rbac/ is striving to assist and encourage recycling businesses in the state. Market development is very important. RBAC also continually updates its Directory of Markets for Recyclable Materials http://www.p2pays.org/DMRM/ We all should be personally closing the loop to support all recycling businesses so recycling and reuse can be more successful. As Ron Townley pointed out, we should take a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. We are all responsible for all aspects of taking care of our environment, including reduction and recycling of solid waste, energy and water conservation, hazardous waste reduction, pollution prevention and so on.

Instead of sinking additional funds into a traditional curbside program, the city in question may want to take an "out of the box" approach. If additional diversion is what the city is after, C&D and organics programs could offer much more opportunity than increased recovery of bottles and cans. Perhaps looking at initiating curbside collection of household organics for composting would do the trick (as the city of Charlottesville, VA has been doing successfully for some time). This program could run bi-weekly, picking up bagged organics in a uni-body truck. Obviously, a fairly large or aggressive composting operation would need to be nearby or the city would need to be involved in one or start one, but costs could be somewhat in line with the proposed traditional curbside collection boost and the diversion potential would be much greater. I realize most of this message doesn't speak directly to the question posed, but other alternatives should be considered when looking at making dramatic and/or costly changes to a program. If the goal is more diversion, is their a better way to get that with the same level of investment, if not less? I hope this helps.

County commissioners agreed Monday that the North Wake multi-material drop-off facility, in North Raleigh at 9004 Deponie Drive, will accept these items beginning Sept. 4 in a pilot recycling program. The North Wake landfill, originally supposed to fill up within two years, is now expected to last until 2005. A permit to build a replacement landfill in Holly Springs is tied up in court. Wake will charge $25 per ton to recycle pallets, with a charge of $2 for individual pallets. The program will cost the county $64,600 a year. To recycle monitors, businesses and commercial haulers will pay $5 per monitor; individual residents can recycle their monitors for free. The program will cost $199,600 annually. -- Greg Flynn, Facility Architect NC Division of Forest Resources 1616 Mail Service Center Raleigh NC 27699-1616 919-733-2162 x 210 919-218-4820 cell 919-733-2835 fax From tom.rhodes@ncmail.net Tue Aug 21 12:20:27 2001 Received: from scc061.its.state.nc.us (scc061.its.state.nc.us [149.168.25.14]) by ncc-1701d.p2pays.org (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id f7LGKRL16035 for ; Tue, 21 Aug 2001 12:20:27 -0400 Received: from administrator (207.4.183.189) by scc061.its.state.nc.us (5.1.039) id 3B695E790008965A; Tue, 21 Aug 2001 13:33:39 -0400 Message-ID: <007101c12a67$646f5320$bdb704cf@administrator> From: "Tom Rhodes" To: "Eileen Benson" , "'p2assist@lists.p2pays.org'" References: <683133968F18D5118CF0000629398A0F2E11C7@MOZART> Subject: Re: [P2assist] TV's Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 13:33:29 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Sender: p2assist-admin@lists.p2pays.org Errors-To: p2assist-admin@lists.p2pays.org X-BeenThere: p2assist@lists.p2pays.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: P2assist E-mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Good day Eileen and illustrious members of P2assist, Electronics recycling is still in the development stage in many areas, and I am so glad that interested parties in your area have taken up the task to recycle television sets. Are they also collecting computer monitors? Eventually the cost for collection and recycling may even out so that the cost is not so burdensome on the community or its citizens. My personal prefence is to require manufacturers to be responsible for the disposal, but I can't see that happening anytime soon. Perhaps, in your community, the cost for disposal could somehow be shared by the community and the citizens. Check out DPPEA's Directory of Markets for Recyclable Materials to find markets for televisions and other electronics. http://www.p2pays.org/DMRM/ http://www.p2pays.org/DMRM/dmrm.asp?Page=3&matcode=EL-07&B1=Submit http://www.p2pays.org/DMRM/dmrm.asp?Page=3&matcode=EL-03&B1=Submit Thanks for using P2assist!

The one-day conference will provide training on the business returns of environmental stewardship initiatives including: utility cost-reduction strategies, recycling programs, linen reuse, indoor air quality, and green purchasing. "We've shown area hotels how to save thousands of dollars through water and energy efficiency improvements - without sacrificing comfort to their guests," said Terry Albrecht, director of Waste Reduction Partners (WRP), which is sponsoring the conference in collaboration with the N.C. Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance (DPPEA), the Land-of-Sky Regional Council, the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Carolina Recycling Association. Albrecht said the conference has attracted national experts to share their expertise, including the president of the Green Hotels Association. "Being environmentally progressive has improved our bottom line," states Michael Kryzanek, manager of the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort. Personnel from hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, resorts and other lodging establishments are encouraged to attend. The conference has tracks for both hotel/motel managers and maintenance staff. For registration information, contact Linda Herrera or Don Hollister at the Land-of-Sky Regional Council - (828) 251-6622 or www.landofsky.org . A $35 registration fee covers all conference materials, lunch and refreshments. WRP is a team of highly experienced volunteer engineers, architects and scientists that provides western North Carolina businesses with no-cost waste and energy reduction assessments. DPPEA provides free, non-regulatory technical assistance and education on methods to eliminate, reduce or recycle wastes before they become pollutants or require disposal. **************************** Diana Kees Public Information Officer/ Communications Specialist N.C.

Around 70% of Wake County's waste stream comes from the commercial sector. Because of this, Wake County is aggressively targeting businesses to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. About the Workshop This workshop is planned to provide assistance to businesses to help improve the bottom line while at the same time reducing their trash. Topics to be covered include: 1. Background information on the non-regulatory EPA program -Waste Wise, 2. Local business recycling programs, 3. Waste prevention ideas, 4. Establishing a recycling/reuse program, 5. Purchasing environmentally preferable products, 6. Reducing energy costs through energy efficiency, and 7. How to promote to the public and educate employees about a recycling program. Who should attend? This workshop will benefit Builders, Contractors, Hotel Managers, Restaurant Owners, Office Managers and Industry Officials. The introductory session will be of interest to all, while the three breakout sessions will offer more in depth information for each sector. This workshop is being coordinated with help from the NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance, EPA WasteWise, and RTP Recycles.

It's difficult to envision a place in North Carolina where this weird accumulation of used tennis balls would be of sufficient quantity to be a real world landfill choker. Another possible meaningful use would be in Material Handling as a substitute to Styrofoam peanuts. As EMS is driving companies to look at solid waste minimization, there are more efforts to go to re-useable dunnage. Suppliers and customers create closed loops with returnable bins, skids and boxes. Conceivably a component or subassembly might require shock resistant packaging in a container and used tennis balls could fill the void (fill the void... get it?). Containment and control of them in a Shipping/Receiving environment might be problematic. There would probably need to be yet another 29CFR rewrite to address this new class of industrial fall and/or engulfing hazard. Best regards, Jim -----Original Message----- From: Bryant, Thomas J.

It's difficult to envision a place in North Carolina where this weird accumulation of used tennis balls would be of sufficient quantity to be a real world landfill choker. Another possible meaningful use would be in Material Handling as a substitute to Styrofoam peanuts. As EMS is driving companies to look at solid waste minimization, there are more efforts to go to re-useable dunnage. Suppliers and customers create closed loops with returnable bins, skids and boxes. Conceivably a component or subassembly might require shock resistant packaging in a container and used tennis balls could fill the void (fill the void... get it?). Containment and control of them in a Shipping/Receiving environment might be problematic. There would probably need to be yet another 29CFR rewrite to address this new class of industrial fall and/or engulfing hazard. Best regards, Jim -----Original Message----- From: Bryant, Thomas J.

Disposal of batteries, many of which qualify as hazardous material, is a problem for many cities and counties. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp. (RBRC), an Atlanta-based non-profit, public service organization, has come up with a way to help. RBRC has announced that its nationwide recycling program, Charge Up To Recycle!, is now available free to local communities. Through the program, RBRC collects all portable, rechargeable batteries, including nickel-cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium ion and small sealed lead. The group replenishes supplies, such as recycling boxes, for community recycling centers. More than 300 communities in the United States and Canada currently take part in Charge Up To Recycle. For information about the program, visit http://www.rbrc.org/community. ------------------------------------------------------------------
