Low-Grade E-Scrap & SDA WEEE
Responsible recovery routes for low-grade e-scrap and Small Household Appliance (SDA) WEEE across our UK and US facilities.
Overview
Low-grade material is the hardest part of the waste stream to place. Mixed loads, low metal content, and awkward plastics mean most recyclers either turn it away or send it to landfill. We take it. Our flotation separation system and AI-driven sorting make recovery viable on material that traditional lines cannot process economically — so mixed Small Household Appliance (SDA) WEEE and breakage get separated into clean streams and returned to the supply chain rather than buried.

Frequently Asked Questions
Low-Grade E-Scrap & SDA WEEE FAQs
What counts as low-grade e-scrap?+
Material with low precious-metal content and high plastic or mixed-material content — Small Household Appliances (SDA), breakage, power supplies, and mixed electronic components. It is the fraction most recyclers turn away because conventional lines cannot recover value from it economically.
Where do you process this material?+
Across our facilities in the UK and USA. Which site handles your material depends on the stream and volume, and accepted streams change as capacity moves — get in touch and we will confirm the best route for what you have.
How does material get to you?+
Most material is delivered in to us. Logistics are agreed case by case depending on your location, volume and how often you are moving material — get in touch and we will work out the practical arrangement with you.
Do you accept mixed loads, or does material need pre-sorting?+
We accept mixed loads. Our AI-driven sorting is designed to separate mixed streams, so material does not need to arrive pre-sorted by type. Tell us roughly what is in the load and we will confirm it is suitable.
What documentation do we receive?+
Chain-of-custody records and a Certificate of Recycling for every consignment — evidence you can use for landfill diversion and sustainability reporting, and pass on to your own clients.
Is there a minimum volume?+
We work best with pallet-level volumes and above, and support both one-off clearances and recurring monthly tonnage. Tell us what you have and we will advise on the most practical arrangement.
