PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April Fluorescent Lighting Issue Statement Contain mercury, a harmful neurotoxin. Poor awareness about mercury in lamps and problems it can cause. Large and small generators of spent lamps are subject to different regulations and typically use different lamps.

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April Fluorescent Lighting Issue Statement About 30 percent of lamps used by business and industry, and 2 percent of CFLs were estimated to be recycled in 2003, although this estimate has much uncertainty. Inadequate collection infrastructure (including convenient locations for residential consumers).

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April Fluorescent Lighting Issue Statement Patchwork of regulations. Lack of enforcement. Insufficient motivation for recycling Significant costs to collect/recycle. Bulb breakage causes extra risk.

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April Overall Dialogue Goal Promote use of energy efficient lighting while eliminating or reducing the amount of mercury and other toxins entering the environment during the lifecycle of fluorescent lamps.

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April Specific Dialogue Goals Reduce environmental impact of manufacture of fluorescent lighting. Increase manufacture and procurement of environmentally preferable lighting. Maximize safe collection and recycling of spent lamps from households and businesses.

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #1 Source Control 38

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #1: Source Control  Mercury is required for the efficient function of fluorescent lamps.  Different lamps have different amounts of mercury, based on size, wattage, and manufacturer.  Mercury is also released through the manufacturing process, although some manufacturing methods are more efficient in their use of mercury than others. 39

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Source Control: Background Mercury content & role of mercury in lighting Manufacturing – NAFTA countries (primarily non-CFL) – China (almost all CFL, other lamps too) Manufacturing process – Mercury released during manufacturing – Varies w/ type of bulb and process (“capsule” method more efficient and safer for workers) 40

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Source Control: Background Lighting choices made by consumers: “green procurement” – Government, corporate, and institutional policies (LEED, bid specs,other guidelines) – Opt for less toxic, longer-lasting, more efficient products – Retailer promotion – Consumer education through labeling/branding efforts 41

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Source Control: Solution Reduce the amount of mercury used in the manufacture of fluorescent lamps, including the amount per lamp and the amount released during manufacture. 42

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Source Control: Strategies A) Identify and encourage/mandate use of most effective method for mercury insertion to ensure accurate/minimal dosage in lamp manufacturing. B) Encourage/mandate manufacturers to reduce amount of mercury per lamp. C) Mandate mfrs to improve life span and efficiency of lamps. D) Encourage (including through procurement) manufacturers to improve life span and efficiency of lamps by promoting use of the lamps with the lowest possible mercury content and greatest possible efficiency. 43

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #2: Collection and Transportation Infrastructure (Small generators/Residential) 44

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #2: Infrastructure (Small generators/Residential)  There is currently uneven and inadequate infrastructure for the collection of spent lamps for recycling for residences/small generators.  Efficient consolidation and transportation may require lamp crushing, but the safety of these systems is questioned. 45

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #2: Infrastructure (Small generators/Residential) Residential sector = 22% of fluorescent lamps Recycling opportunities minimal (HHW) – Location – Hours Safety concerns 46

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #2: Infrastructure (Small generators/Residential) Multiple efforts to provide more convenient collection opportunities – Retailers – Public facilities: libraries, fire departments – Utilities, government, recyclers, environmental orgs Models – Mail back from home (USPS box) – Ship via common carrier from collection location – Reverse distribution, collection by HHW 47

PSI Fluorescent Lighting National Dialogue Meeting © Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. April 2008 Issue #2: Infrastructure (Small generators/Residential) Regulations specific to recycling infrastructure: – Retailers must collect lamps for recycling if they sell them (Dane County, WI) – Utilities w/ over 200,000 customers must provide for convenient recycling (Minnesota) 48
