What does 3R Technology Global do?

3R Technology Global is an AI-driven e-waste recovery operator. We recover precious metals and plastics from end-of-life electronics using AI robotic sorting, and act as the downstream recycling partner for IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) providers across the UK, USA, and Europe.

What recovery rates does 3R Technology Global achieve?

3R Technology Global achieves up to 99% precious metal recovery and over 75% plastic recovery from end-of-life electronics — significantly above industry averages of 85–90% and 40–60% respectively.

How does 3R Technology Global work with ITAD providers?

3R Technology Global acts as the downstream recycling partner for ITAD companies. Once equipment has been collected and data sanitised by the ITAD provider, non-remarketable assets are transferred to 3R's facilities for responsible end-of-life processing — recovering metals and plastics and returning them to the supply chain.

Where does 3R Technology Global operate?

3R Technology Global operates facilities in Preston (Lancashire, UK), Swindon (UK), Riverbank (California, USA), Janesville (Wisconsin, USA), and Hangzhou (China), with an engineering centre in Reusel (Netherlands). Planned expansion covers Ireland, Southampton, Oxfordshire, Atlanta, Texas, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Is 3R Technology Global ISO certified?

Yes. 3R Technology Global's Preston facility holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, all accredited by the British Assessment Bureau under UKAS accreditation number 8289.

This Is What E-Waste Looks Like in the Middle of the Process

Shredded. Separated. Moving. The unglamorous middle stage of e-waste recycling — where mixed streams of plastics, fragments, and residual components get handled, sorted, and sent in the right direction.

The Hard Part of Plastic Recovery Isn't the Recycling — It's Deciding What's Safe to Recycle

Shredded e-waste plastic looks like one material, but hidden inside are plastics carrying POPs — the flame retardants that rule out standard recycling. Identifying and removing them is the unglamorous work that sends most e-waste plastic to landfill, and the part we built our line to handle.

Notes From E-Waste World Expo Frankfurt: Where Circular Electronics Is Heading Next

Two days at Messe Frankfurt across four co-located shows — e-waste, battery recycling, metal recycling, and ITAD. Notes on AI-driven separation, new battery recovery processes, and where the industry is genuinely converging.

Notes From SCIIF Shenzhen: Machine Vision and AI Sorting Are Catching Up to Our Recovery Ambitions

Real-time polymer ID, faster robotic sorting arms, smarter AI classifiers — the gap between what we want our recovery rates to be and what the hardware can actually deliver is closing fast.

Industry Insight·2 June 2026

Same Input, Different Outputs: Why E-Waste Plastic Recovery Is the Industry's Blind Spot

Around 20% of e-waste is plastic — and most of it never gets recovered. We run metal and plastic recovery lines side by side, which is why our recovery rates beat industry norms on both streams.
