Equipment Recycling - Our Process
We begin by tracking shipment of equipment, labeling them and sorting them based on equipment type. Processing begins with equipment identification and sorting. Our personnel disassemble the equipment into components, parts, plastics and metals preparing the equipment for extraction of the raw materials. We use this basic method for all equipment we recycle. We have avoided investing in expensive processing equipment, as it has been determined to accomplish less at a greater expense.
Our process is simple and is to remain flexible as our industry experiences constant change.
By the end of our processes, 100% of the hardware has been separated into various clean commodity streams. Along with the hazards, these commodity streams are sent on to various operations. The precious metals found in the electronics is sent to a copper smelter to recover copper, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, selenium, tellurium, cadmium and nickel. The steel output goes directly to a steel foundry. The aluminum output goes directly to an aluminum smelter. Certificates of destruction (recycling) are always issued upon completion of the recycling process. |
