HOW WE RECYLE E-SCRAP
IN A MORE RESPONSIBLE WAY
100% of what comes in is converted, recycled and advanced forward in the circular recycling economy.
PROCESSING POWER IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY + SO IS E-SCRAP
Technological progress, means shorter device lifecycles and growing e-scrap. Meanwhile, demand for the precious metals required for new-generation smartphones, tablets and servers is greater than ever.
Igneo closes the loop, enabling the metamorphosis from old technology to new.
