The recycling steps of cathode ray tube (CRT) glass waste dismantled from a television(TV) set are composed by collection, separation of panel and funnel, crushing, and washing. CRT glass waste recycling is not well practiced because the transferring TV transmission to high definition (HD) from December 2012 and the shutting down of domestic CRT manufacturers in Korea. In this study, to promote recycling of CRT glass waste which is expected to the increment of generation after such shift of TV transmission method, selected recycling technologies were examined. In addition, draft road map of CRT glass recycling waste was revised and presented with defining the role of producers, recycling centers and government. In CRT glass waste, technologies of panel examined are cement brick, clay brick, and glass wool, and those for funnel are glazing and lead-smelting. As results of cement brick and clay brick in lab-scale tests, the entire samples satisfied the Korean Standard. To apply CRT glass waste recycling at existing technology it was suggested that facilities need to separate panel and funnel glasses exactly and to classify fine sizes after crushing glasses. Roadmap to future recycling strategy was suggested explaining the role of stakeholder to promote CRT glass waste recycling. Producer needs to establish market infrastructure with supply networking of CRT glass waste and to make monitoring system for environmental problem and the government needs to support R&D and reformation of the recycling system.
