• VaporShield Mail-Back Boxes

    Aug. 24, 2012

    VaporShield, a set of mail-back lamp recycling boxes, eliminates considerable waste from traditional mail-back boxes by forgoing the conventional plastic liner and end caps.

    Instead, VaporShield uses two self-adhesive end caps and a treated cardboard interior that can safely contain mercury vapor in case a lamp breaks during storage or shipment.

    Simplified packaging and loading minimize the risk of outside breakage and encourage recycling. The box is available in 4-foot Standard, 4-foot Jumbo, and 8-foot sizes.
