Recycling plastic coated & sleeved lamps still involves crushing the glass. However, when you crush a plastic coated /shatterproof lamp the end result is usually crushed glass in a flattened tube. It is therefore necessary to remove this prior to putting the lamp & bulbs into the recycler and this usually involves a person, with a knife, cutting the sleeving away, prior to the lamp being processed normally. This method has a number of Health & Safety issues and is not ideal when lamps are already broken inside the sleeving.
Balcan have developed their 'Raptor' Plastic lamp processor, which, when used with the Balcan Lamp Recycling Plant easily deals with these types of lamps.
