This paper presents a comparative analysis of the boundary conditions in Belgium and Japan that cause the adoption of diverse treatment strategies for the rapidly increasing number of end-of-life flat screen TVs. In addition, both treatment strategies are evaluated from an ecological and economic perspective and opportunities for improvement are identified. © 2013 CIRP.en-USEnvironment(Al)Flat Screen TvRecyclingArticle10.1016/j.cirp.2013.03.092
