Corning looks to greener glass

"Corning Inc. is trying to do its part to ensure that future liquid crystal displays are not harmful to the environment. Corning has launched what it claims is the first LCD glass substrate free of heavy metals. Called Eagle XG, the glass is formulated without arsenic, antimony, and barium--- all metals often present in existing LCD glass formulations. The company has for years been trying to phase out the use of heavy metals to achieve lighter, thinner glass, but now also believes the new glass formulation will help it keep with a tightening of environmental regulations associated with the impending Restrictions of the Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive."
