Light Bulb Ban.

Energy minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan said: "We're phasing out old inefficient halogen bulbs for good, so we can move more quickly to longer-lasting LED bulbs, meaning less waste and a brighter and cleaner future for the UK.


But don't the new L.E.D. lamps contain more electronic stuff, all eventually  destined for landfill?

    Thanks for your proposed new word, Zoomup. Pass it on to Stephen - and the media.


    I understood that landfill was also being phased out. Where I live, household waste is incinerated to generate electricity. Our household waste recycling centre takes lamps of all types - filament, fluorescent, l.e.d. I am not sure precisely what happens to them. I presume they are broken down to extract valuable component materials.
