The Japanese Association of Electronic Home Appliances.
PRESS RELEASE		December 11 & 12, 1997

Computer & CRT Recycling Leaders!

	The Japanese Association of Electronic Home Appliances (AEHA), 
based in Tokyo, is please to announce that it will engage in a 10-day 
tour of cathode ray tube (CRT) recycling centers and glass manufactures. 
  A 20-member delegation from the AEHA will travel throughout the 
eastern United States, meeting with public and private groups to discuss 
the cathode ray tube industry.
	The AEHA is a government sponsored trade group comprised of 
members of electronic manufactures like Sony, Matsushita, and Toshiba.  
 The association has developed technologies for an integrated system to 
recycle four electronic home appliances: televisions, air conditioners, 
washing machines, and refrigerators.
	Advanced Recovery in Belleville, New Jersey (973) 450-9797, 
(http://www.AdvancedRecovery.com) will host the delegations for a day 
long meeting and information exchange on the topics of CRT's and 
electronic home appliance recycling.   Advanced Recovery is a recycling 
company dedicated to meeting future environmental challenges.   The 
company provides services to manufacturers, developers, governmental 
agencies and financial institutions.   Advanced Recovery's progressive 
and comprehensive recycling methods allow the company to reuse 99.7% (by 
weight) of the 200 tons of electronic equipment it receives every month.
	Nick Albano, vice president of Advanced Recovery, said, "This 
meeting represents a great opportunity for both sides.   We are able to 
share our recycling innovations in CRT's, and at the same time learn 
about developments in home appliance recycling.   This will lead to a 
long term information exchange with Japan concerning the global issue of 
recycling."
		The AEHA delegation will consist of members of the 
electronic manufacturers and total approximately 20 people.   The 
Association is meeting with a host of public and private groups, 
including the EPA in Washington DC and Boston, and glass manufacturers 
Corning and Techneglas.
	Erik Glitman, principal for Fletcher Mountain Group, the 
Burlington, VT based market research consulting firm arranged the tour, 
said, "We are please to be a part of this global effort. The AEHA is 
interested in locating US companies who may want to visit Japan for 
similar purpose.   The Association would further demonstrate their 
recycling capabilities and strengthen their international alliance with 
CRT and electronic recycling."
		Chad Stimson, project manager for Fletcher Mountain 
Group, said, based on our research, it is clear that Advanced Recovery 
is a leader in CRT recycling. The AEHA is excited at the opportunity to 
learn more about US advances in recycling from the industry leader. This 
meeting is the first step in what could be a long term partnership."
