Shredded electronics are broken down and sorted into raw commodities automatically with ERI’s shredding technology.
When an electronic device is recycled with ERI, it is typically shredded and broken down into its most basic raw commodities, such as copper, glass, metal and plastic, as well as raw items like batteries and circuit boards.
ERI operates some of the world’s largest and most efficient e-waste shredders. These shredders are able to break down electronics quickly and completely while sorting commodities into the cleanest possible product for ERI’s downstream partners.
Those strategic partners, such as LS MnM and Alcoa, then take the raw commodities provided by ERI and turn them into new products. This is possible thanks to ERI’s efficient and industry-leading shredding process, which its downstream partners consistently recognize as producing the cleanest recycled commodities available, ensuring the maximum amount of each electronic device is recycled and eventually reused to make new items.
