So, all CRTs should be made back into CRT's....

And, seperate all of the funnels from the Lead heavy screen. Mash the lead glass into a powder & use it to absorb radiation from the damaged Fukushima reactor....
Like make bricks from it or fill shipping containers with it & make a 'wall' around the area.

The lead-free screen, you mean. All the lead is in the funnel and the "frit" solder/joint that attaches the tube to the screen. Personally, I can't understand why recycling crts even an issue. Getting 4-8 lbs. of lead per tv or monitor would seem to me as easily being worth recovering. Lead is widely used and mined, here's a ready source with no mining needed.
