Since 2001, COM2 Recycling Solutions has provided quality recycling of electronics for the Midwest states and Canada. Operating from the Greater Chicago area and Ontario, COM2 Electronics Recycling program accepts equipment such as Laptops, Desktops, TVs, CRTs, LCDs, Printers, office electronics, and the likes..., and separates their materials into dedicated bins for glass, plastic, iron, aluminum, copper, platinum, metal, and circuit boards (RAM/Gold). These are considered Reusable Commodities, which can then be sent downstream to manufacturers who reuse the raw materials in new products. In the case of Glass, COM2 can actually repurpose glass ingredients for the production of ceramic tile.
While segregating material to be recycled, it is critical to know that there are toxic parts founds in all electronics, which also need to be properly handled. COM2 is equipped and certified to deal with harmful substances such as PCB, mercury, lead, lithium, and more.
All of COM2’s recycling is done in accordance to Federal and Local regulations and guidelines. Roughly 99% of the material we process gets recycled.

Cathode ray tubes, or CRTs, are the heavy leaded glass tubes that were used in old TVs and monitors. With new CRTs no longer manufactured in the US, the seriously constrained recovery market has lead to widespread stockpiling and landfilling of the hazardous, but valuable material.
COM2's new recovery process uses silica and oxides found in CRT glass as a substitute for raw materials required to manufacture decorative glazes for ceramic tiles. The leaded and non-leaded glass from CRTs is carefully mixed with other ingredients to create a product that uses fewer natural resources, requires less energy to produce than traditional glazes and results in a product that is safe for the environment.
