( 01 ) — Use Case · Infrastructure

    Transformers, cables, rail assets — recovered on schedule, documented end to end.

    We coordinate who picks up what and where it goes, and prove it happened. From decommissioning to certified material recovery, across every contractor in your network.

    ( 02 ) — The Challenge

    Achieve full transparency over asset end-of-life in weeks, not years.

    European infrastructure operators manage thousands of assets approaching end-of-life. ContainerGrid provides the digital infrastructure to orchestrate dismantlers, recyclers, and refiners, with full documentation at every step.

    Asset Owners

    Utilities, TSOs, DSOs, rail and telco operators recovering their own assets.

    Equipment Manufacturers

    OEMs and system suppliers running take-back for sold equipment.

    Service Providers

    Integrators orchestrating recovery on behalf of asset owners.

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

    ( 03 ) — How Recovery Programs Work

    Five steps from decommissioning to closed loop.

    ( 01 )

    Define Program Rules

    Set routing rules, R-strategies (reuse / refurb / recycle), quality specs, and accepted offtakers.

    ( 02 )

    Register Assets

    Log assets with voltage class, oil type, mass, hazard flags, and hub locations.

    ( 03 )

    Orchestrate Dismantling

    Coordinate decommissioning, oil handling, segmentation, and fraction separation across contractors.

    ( 04 )

    QA & Bundle Materials

    Quality banding, weight verification, and virtual aggregation into contract-ready lots.

    ( 05 )

    Close-Out & Compliance

    Complete evidence package: weigh slips, certificates, chain-of-custody, CO₂ reporting.

    ( 04 ) — Pilot Program

    Proof-of-value with European grid operators.

    We're running pilots with leading European TSOs and utilities to validate governed execution, audit-ready evidence, and improved recovery outcomes across transformer end-of-life programs.

    • 5 transformers per pilot
    • 3–5 maintenance hubs
    • Full chain-of-custody documentation

    Reference deployments with European infrastructure leaders. Details on request.

    ( 05 ) — What's Recoverable

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

    Steel (core & tank)55%
    Copper (windings)20%
    Insulation oil15%
    Aluminum & other10%

    Copper

    High-value recovery, quality banding for premium pricing.

    Steel

    Volume aggregation for transport efficiency.

    Critical Materials

    Certified chain-of-custody for compliance.

    Infrastructure Module — Rail

    Sleepers, ballast & track materials

    Rail-specific recovery workflows — from track removal to certified return into new infrastructure projects.

    Track Removal Coordination

    Sleeper extraction and ballast recovery across contractors.

    Material Hub Routing

    Quality grading at regional hubs.

    Mass Balance & PCF

    Verified quantities with carbon footprint data.

    Return to Projects

    Certified materials for renewal projects.
