Electronic Waste Recycling

At Blancomet, we focus on e-waste recycling that prioritizes sustainability. Our team recycles electronic waste efficiently, ensuring valuable materials are recovered and hazardous components are safely removed. We aim to protect the environment while helping you get the most value from your scrap electronics.

What is E-Waste and Why Does It Matter?

E-waste refers to discarded electronics like laptops, phones, servers, and TVs. The rise in technology use has made e-waste one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide.

These devices contain both valuable and hazardous materials. Precious metals like gold, silver, palladium, and copper can be recovered. At the same time, dangerous substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury pose serious risks to the environment if not handled correctly.

That’s why e-waste recycling matters. It reduces pollution, protects ecosystems, and recovers materials that would otherwise be lost.

The Impact of E-Waste: More Than Just Clutter

Improper disposal of e-waste leads to serious environmental damage. When electronics end up in landfills, toxic chemicals can leach into the soil and groundwater. This contamination affects wildlife, plants, and humans.

Recycling your e-waste prevents this pollution. It also cuts down on the need to mine new raw materials, which saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Our E-Waste Recycling Services

Blancomet offers a full range of e-waste recycling services. We recover valuable materials and handle hazardous components with care.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Recycling

PCBs are found in nearly every electronic device. They contain precious and non-ferrous metals but can also include toxic materials.

We:

Visually inspect and sort PCBs based on their metal content
Use lab testing (ICP-OES) for accurate analysis when needed
Remove impurities and hazardous substances
Prepare PCBs for responsible refining

With our experience and technology, we ensure maximum value and safety during recycling.

IT Asset Disposal & Secure Data Destruction

If your business has old IT equipment, we can help. Our team will pick up your electronics, destroy data securely, and handle everything according to legal and environmental standards.

We offer:

On-site collection of redundant IT assets
Certified data destruction with full documentation
GDPR-compliant procedures
Ethical and eco-friendly disposal

Protect your sensitive data while reducing your environmental impact.

Can E-Waste Be Reused?

Yes—if the device is still functional. Equipment in working condition can be refurbished and reused. This helps reduce demand for new products and extends the life of the electronics.

When devices are beyond repair, e-waste recycling is the next best step. We dismantle items, recover materials, and dispose of harmful components properly. This process ensures nothing valuable goes to waste.
