Abstract:  
The shot peening and abrasive blast cleaning communities are making a commitment to the future as shown in our article on GMA Industries. As the urgency for action continues to grow, we can all look for ways to protect our environment. The electronics industries, especially in Europe and Asia, have strong mandates on product manufacturing requiring full life-cycle planning. We cannot continue to dump our "old" computers and monitors in landfills. The same is true of used media, whether it is glass bead, cast steel or cut wire shot. There are many innovative uses for this "spent" material.
