Metals recycling business CMA EcoCyde has opened Australia's first EPA-licensed mercury recovery and distillation plant in Melbourne.rnThe $10 million plant has the capacity to recover and process the mercury, aluminium and glass from most of the 90 million energy-efficient light bulbs and fluorescent tubes disposed of each year in Australia, as well as mercury from the dental, medical, mining, defence and chemical industries. By-products from recycling include dental amalgam, aluminium ingots (from tube ends), glasswool insulation and fertiliser (from phosphor).
