Understanding E-Waste Recycling

E-waste recycling encompasses the process of dismantling, refurbishing, and recycling electronic devices to prevent hazardous waste from entering landfills.

It’s a crucial aspect of waste management that protects both the environment and human health.

Cleanway's E-Waste Recycling Process

Our process begins with a thorough site assessment, identifying contaminants and determining the most appropriate disposal method.

Collection and Transportation: The initial step involves collecting e-waste from various sources.
Sorting and Dismantling: Upon arrival at the recycling facility, e-waste items are sorted based on their type and potential for reuse or recycling.
Data Destruction and Security: For e-waste containing sensitive data, secure data destruction processes are implemented.
Material Recovery: After dismantling, the separated materials (such as metals, plastics, and glass) undergo further processing.
Preparation for Reuse or Recycling: Recovered materials are prepared for sale to manufacturers who will use them to create new products, completing the recycling loop.
