( 01 ) — Use Case · Infrastructure

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

    We coordinate who picks up what, 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

    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
