Input und Output

In our state-of-the-art sorting plants, we process a wide variety of discarded devices, including computers, smartphones, household appliances, and much more. These devices contain valuable raw materials, but also harmful substances that must be carefully separated. Using advanced sorting processes, we recover valuable materials such as metals, plastics, and rare earth elements from this input, which can then be reused in new products. Our facilities are capable of processing the entire range of WEEE categories. Below you’ll find a detailed overview of the different input materials and the output resources recovered from them.
