Anil There is no sure way of being 100% environmentally friendly. Firstly, remove the metals (esp lead). Secondly, incinerate the non-metallics in a furnace operating at a very high temperature (1500 deg C or higher), with efficient scrubbing on the chimney to extract the max of chemicals like bromine and chlorine compounds. You will be left with some of the glass in the ashes. Brian Anil Kher wrote: > Dear all,This msg. was returned earlier - so may be it is > duplicated.
