Recycling of electronic waste

Electronic waste encompasses all discarded electronic devices, components, and systems – from computers and cell phones to household appliances and industrial control systems. These devices often contain a variety of valuable materials such as metals, plastics, and rare earths, the recycling of which contributes to resource conservation and waste prevention.

Shredding is used to break down electronic waste into smaller fragments, allowing for better separation and sorting of the different materials (metals, plastics, circuit boards, etc.). At LITech, targeted shredding processes achieve homogenization of the scrap, which significantly improves the efficiency of subsequent processing.
