A company that recycles the glass found in televisions and computer monitors announced Friday it is establishing its first Virginia operation in Bristol, creating 46 new jobs.
Nulife Glass, based in Machester, England, will invest $5.9 million to repurpose the vacant former Crowley Foods plant in the city, according to Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
Nulife recycles cathode ray tube (CRT) glass, which is found in televisions and computer monitors. Nulife's solution extracts sellable lead from the glass. The company uses a pyro chemical technology that allows it to recover lead and glass from CRT glass for resale.
Nulife opened its first North American facility in Buffalo, New York in 2013.
McAuliffe approved a $110,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to help Bristol with the project. The Tobacco ndemnification and Community Revitalization Commission approved $190,000 in Tobacco Region Opportunity Funds for the project.
Virginia competed against Ohio and Pennsylvania for the project.
