    Electronics & WEEE — governed recovery, per device.

    Enterprise IT hardware, industrial electronics, and network equipment recovered through a governed take-back network, with per-device chain-of-custody, certified data destruction, and material streams routed to critical-raw-material refiners.

    ( 02 ) — The Challenge

    WEEE compliance and critical-material recovery — from the same operational data.

    Electronics carry the highest concentration of critical raw materials in the waste stream, and the highest data-security stakes. WEEE Directive, Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (ESPR) all point at documented, per-device recovery. ContainerGrid runs the governed network that makes device-level evidence a byproduct of operations.

    Enterprise IT & Facilities

    Corporates decommissioning fleets of servers, laptops, and network equipment with data-destruction and reporting obligations.

    Electronics OEMs

    Manufacturers running branded take-back for warranty returns, end-of-life devices, and industrial components.

    Certified WEEE Processors

    CENELEC-standard treatment facilities and refiners recovering critical materials from device fractions.

    The platform adapts to your operating model. References available on request.

    ( 03 ) — How Electronics Take-Back Runs

    Five steps from device pickup to certified critical-material recovery.

    ( 01 )

    Onboard Network

    Digital onboarding of drop-off points, logistics partners, and CENELEC-certified WEEE processors — SLAs, certificates, data-security clauses.

    ( 02 )

    Register Devices

    Log devices with serial number, category, hazard class, data-carrier flag, and reuse / recycle disposition.

    ( 03 )

    Dispatch, Secure Transport & Data Destruction

    Rule-based routing to refurbishers or shredders, with certified data destruction and tamper-evident custody per device.

    ( 04 )

    QA & Aggregate Streams

    Quality banding of PCB, copper, precious-metal, and CRM fractions — virtual aggregation into refiner-grade lots.

    ( 05 )

    Compliance & Recovery Report

    Per-device evidence pack: WEEE compliance, data-destruction certificates, recovery rates, and CRM-A-aligned reporting.

    ( 04 ) — Outcome Metrics

    What operators measure — not what the market forecasts.

    The e-waste market has plenty of forecasts. Operators need program outcomes: how many devices moved with intact custody, how much CRM was actually recovered, and how quickly the compliance pack was ready for audit.

    • Devices tracked with unbroken chain-of-custody
    • Certified data-destruction rate (per device)
    • Critical raw material yield vs. baseline shredding
    • Time from pickup to audit-ready evidence pack

    ( 05 ) — What's Recoverable

    Every material stream tracked, quality-banded, routed to certified processing.

    Critical Raw Materials

    Rare earths, cobalt, gallium and indium — routed to refiners with certified chain-of-custody for CRM-A alignment.

    Precious Metals

    Gold, silver, palladium and platinum from PCBs — high-value recovery at certified refiners.

    Copper & Aluminium

    Cable stripping, chassis and heat-sink recovery — quality-banded for premium offtake.

    Plastics & Composites

    BFR-screened polymer streams and composite fractions routed to compliant processing.
