Retronix Component Recovery SERVICE: ADVANCING Sustainability Through Circular Economy Solutions

The demand for electronic goods is skyrocketing. However, this rapid growth in electronics consumption has led to a concerning rise in electronics waste (e-waste). The necessity for effective methods to recover and recycle these discarded materials is crucial. One such pioneering solution comes from Retronix Component Recovery Service, a service dedicated to promoting sustainability through circular economy solutions.

The Growing Dilemma of E-Waste

The swift pace of innovation, combined with the short lifespan of electronic products has resulted in a substantial increase in e-waste.

According to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020, the world produced a staggering 53.6 million metric tonnes of electronic waste, and only 17.4% of it was properly documented and recycled. The remaining waste often ends up in landfills or is incinerated, leading to pollution and the squandering of valuable resources.

Embracing The Concept Of Circular Economy

The concept of circular economy has gained considerable importance in recent years. This approach promotes sustainable production, reuse, and recycling of materials throughout their lifecycle.

By applying circular economy principles to electronics, it’s possible to minimize waste and recover valuable electronic components that can be used again in new products. This creates a closed loop system where waste is minimised, and everything services a second purpose elsewhere in the supply chain.

INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS

Defence, aerospace, and military sectors are critical to national security. The systems they operate are time-tested and have long lifespans. However, the electronic systems that run on these platforms are often obsolete or no longer produced.

Retronix’s component recovery service offers the best solution to obtain electronic components from their own old and scrapped boards for reuse. This not only ensures the availability of tested and qualified components, but it also prevents valuable critical components from being sent to landfill. It also prevents components being sourced from unknown or geo-political sensitive areas, thus mitigating the risk of counterfeit or malicious components entering the supply chains.

The Automotive sector can benefit in several ways, both from the point of view of supply chain and sustainability. Reduces the need for new components: By recovering electronic components from old or obsolete vehicles, the automotive sector can reduce the need for new components. This can save the sector money and help to reduce the environmental impact of the automotive industry.

Ensures access to critical components: In some cases, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain new electronic components. By recovering components, the automotive sector can ensure that it has access to the components it needs.

Companies in the industrial, consumer electronics, and cloud computing sectors can save millions of components and circuit boards from going to landfill by safely recovering electronic components for reuse.

This process helps to recover excellent value from otherwise scrap components and reduces a significant portion of the carbon footprint.

Component Recovery service

Retronix has been at the forefront in offering circular economy solutions for over three decades.

The Retronix Component Recovery Service has been instrumental in driving sustainability by recovering high-value components from end-of-life products, scrap, and fallout.

These components are then re-integrated into the supply chain, thereby reducing waste and promoting resource efficiency.
