What happens to the boards and chips after Ecobraz collects them?

Initial Collection and Sorting of Boards and Chips

After being collected by Ecobraz, electronic boards and chips go through a rigorous sorting process. At this stage, the components that can be reused are separated from those that need to be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally correct way.

Plate and Chip Recycling Process

The next step is the manual and automated disassembly of the electronic components. This allows for the recovery of precious metals such as gold, silver and copper from the boards and chips, which are essential for the manufacture of new electronic products. Plastic materials and other elements are separated for proper disposal.

Metal Recovery and Reuse

After disassembly, the recovered metals undergo chemical and physical processes that guarantee the purity of the materials, enabling them to be reinserted into the industrial market. This circular economy contributes to the reduction of mineral extraction and minimizes environmental impacts.

Responsible Disposal of Non-Recyclable Materials

Not all components present in boards and chips can be recycled. Waste with toxic components or that is not viable for reuse is sent for appropriate treatment, avoiding contamination of soil and water.

Commitment to Sustainability

This whole process, which takes place after collection by Ecobraz, reinforces our commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment, promoting responsible management of electronic waste and helping to reduce pollution.

Conclusion

The destination of the boards and chips collected by Ecobraz involves steps that guarantee the recovery and reuse of valuable materials, as well as the correct disposal of waste. This integrated approach promotes the circular economy and protects the environment, making the electronic waste cycle more sustainable.
