WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment — the formal term for electronic scrap. WEEE is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, yet it contains some of the most valuable recoverable materials, including gold, silver, palladium, copper and rare earth elements.
What Qualifies as WEEE Scrap?
WEEE scrap includes computers, laptops, mobile phones, servers, circuit boards, hard drives, cables, televisions, printers, and industrial electronic equipment. EUROSCRAP accepts all categories of WEEE for responsible processing and metal recovery.
The Value Hidden in Electronic Scrap
A metric tonne of mobile phones can yield up to 350g of gold, 3.5kg of silver and 140kg of copper — many times richer than a comparable tonne of gold ore. This makes electronic scrap one of the highest-value waste streams available.
