HOW WE HANDLE E-WASTE?
Step-by-Step Breakdown of the E-Waste Recycling Process
At our facility, we ensure that every step of the e-waste recycling process is handled responsibly and efficiently:
-
Collection: We provide convenient drop-off locations and offer pick-up services for bulk e-waste. Once collected, the items are safely transported to our recycling center.
-
Sorting: Upon arrival, all electronic waste is carefully sorted based on type—such as computers, phones, or household appliances. This ensures that each item is processed according to its specific recycling requirements.
-
Dismantling: After sorting, our team manually dismantles the devices, separating them into different components like metals, plastics, circuit boards, and glass. This step allows for better material recovery.
-
Recycling: Each component is processed through specialized recycling techniques. Metals and plastics are extracted and sent to be refined for reuse, while toxic materials are safely disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations.
Materials Recovered and How They Are Reused
Electronic waste contains a wealth of recoverable materials that can be reused to conserve resources:
-
Metals: Precious and common metals such as gold, silver, copper, and aluminum are recovered from circuit boards, cables, and other parts. These are refined and returned to manufacturing, reducing the need for mining new resources.
-
Plastics: The plastic casings and components of electronics are separated, cleaned, and melted down to be reformed into new products, reducing the demand for virgin plastic.
-
Glass: CRT monitors and other electronics contain glass that can be recycled into new glass products, minimizing landfill waste.
By recovering these materials, we help reduce the strain on natural resources and contribute to a circular economy where materials are reused instead of wasted.
