The Sony Electronics facility in Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland County, has enrolled in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Partnership for Environmental Priorities making a commitment to voluntarily reduce emissions of 31 priority chemicals.

The Sony plant manufactures television and other electronics and is committing to recycle lead-containing frit paste from their cathode ray tube manufacturing process instead of sending it to a hazardous waste landfill.

The waste frit paste will be sent to a Sony sister facility across the street to be recycled and incorporated into their glass manufacturing process.

For more information on how your company can join, visit the National Partnership for Environmental Priorities webpage.
