Are Flat Panel Screens a Headache for You?
The FPD PRO® is Here
The Nation’s first system to use AI robotics for safe and efficient flat panel recycling saves recyclers money
eLoop is now taking orders for Flat Panel Display (FPDs) units to be processed through our FPD PRO® system. The FPD PRO® is the nation’s first fully automated AI robotic processing system. and is a revolutionary new way to safely recover the valuable commodities found inside end-of-life (EOL) flat panel televisions know as Flat Panel Displays. When it begins fully operating in April 2023, the FPD PRO® will be the fastest, most efficient, cost effective and safest way to process the nearly 45 million television sets sold in the U.S. annually when it comes time for them to be recycled. As a leading recycler in our region, we welcome your input and look forward to learning how, together, we can can serve your needs.

About the FPD PRO®
EElectronic recycler eLoop has implemented a new technology called FPD PRO®, which provides a safer and more efficient way of recovering valuable commodities found in end-of-life flat panel televisions and monitors, also known as Flat Panel Displays (FPDs). Located in eLoop's State College, PA facility, FPD PRO® is the nation's first fully automated AI robotic processing system that enhances efficiency and safety, while increasing the volume of FPDs being processed. This technology securely contains hazardous materials found in FPDs, making it the best available and safer solution for workers and the environment.
eLoop has partnered with FPD Recycling®, a European technology company, to become the first electronic waste (e-waste) recycler in the U.S. to implement FPD PRO®. With nearly 45 million television sets sold in the U.S. annually and approximately 220 million units sold globally in 2016, flat panel displays approaching or surpassing end-of-life use continue to build. The current method of disassembling FPDs for recycling purposes is inefficient, costly, and potentially harmful to workers due to hazardous elements involved and extensive manual labor required.
Ned Eldridge, eLoop's CEO and founder, explained that the FPD PRO® is a game-changing breakthrough in the e-waste recycling industry, as it can safely open up to 90 FPDs per hour compared to approximately four flat screens per hour when done manually, which puts workers at risk of mercury exposure. Additionally, FPD PRO® utilizes robotic, artificial intelligence, industrial vision, and flexible automation for FPD disassembly, resulting in a significant reduction in processing time.
With this new automated AI process, eLoop becomes the most technologically advanced recycler of FPDs in the U.S. and can more efficiently recycle FPDs, keeping additional clean recoverable components out of landfills and in the circular economy. This technology positions eLoop as the leading processor for FPDs in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland offering a low-cost solution to recyclers who no longer have to expose their workers to hazardous elements while manually disassembling flat screens.
Moreover, eLoop's FPD PRO® technology helps reduce carbon emissions, with an estimated 7900t of CO2 saved per year in full production compared to virgin material. This not only contributes to eLoop's internal sustainability goals but also supports the state of Pennsylvania's goal to reach net-zero emissions and beyond.
