Purchase of Printed Circuit Boards
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are commonly found in a wide range of electrical devices. When removed from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), these PCBs contain valuable precious and non-ferrous metals that can be effectively recovered. However, it is essential to note that they also consist of hazardous components that pose potential risks to both human health and the environment.
Given the diverse nature of PCBs, with variations in their composition of precious and non-ferrous metals, it is crucial to inspect and evaluate each PCB individually to maximize the recovery of these valuable materials. Blancomet boasts extensive experience and a team of qualified staff who are adept at visually assessing the majority of PCBs. For any unique or exceptional PCBs, we have a dedicated laboratory equipped for Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) testing. This advanced testing method allows us to accurately determine the content of precious and non-ferrous metals present in these PCBs.
At Blancomet, we understand the importance of optimizing the recovery process. Our commitment to meticulous inspection, sorting, and thorough cleansing of impurities and hazardous components ensures that the PCBs are prepared for refining facilities. By employing our expertise and advanced testing capabilities, we offer competitive rates for PCBs, providing a reliable and efficient solution for the recycling and extraction of valuable metals from these electronic components.

E-waste recycling
Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to discarded electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, televisions, and other electronic equipment. With the rapid advancement of technology and the widespread adoption of electronic devices, the generation of e-waste has grown significantly. Proper management and recycling of e-waste are imperative due to its potential environmental and health hazards.
E-waste recycling is essential for several reasons. Firstly, electronic devices contain a variety of valuable and precious materials, including metals like gold, silver, copper, and rare elements. By recycling e-waste, these valuable resources can be recovered and reused, reducing the need for mining and extraction of raw materials. This not only conserves natural resources but also mitigates the environmental impact associated with mining activities.
Furthermore, e-waste often contains hazardous components such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants. If improperly disposed of in landfills, these toxic substances can leach into the soil and groundwater, contaminating ecosystems and posing health risks to humans and wildlife. Recycling e-waste prevents these harmful materials from ending up in landfills, thus safeguarding both the environment and public health.
Allowing e-waste to end up in landfills can have severe consequences. As the toxic components of electronic devices break down over time, they can release harmful chemicals into the soil and water. This pollution can contaminate local ecosystems, harm plant and animal life, and potentially enter the food chain, impacting human health. Additionally, the accumulation of electronic waste in landfills contributes to the overall waste problem, exacerbating issues related to limited landfill space and environmental degradation.
