In-house, large-scale e-waste recycling
Ethical, sustainable e-waste recycling
Once assets have been assessed for re-use or recovery and deemed to be at end of life, Sircel’s world-class recycling capability comes into play.
Unlike other operators, our facility can process whole devices (without batteries) in seconds, eliminating the need for labour-intensive, inefficient manual dismantling.
Watch our large-scale recycling in action:
The first step in our recycling process involves several stages of size reduction and separation, to extract individual commodities at varying fractions. This increases the efficiency of commodity extraction and ultimately leads to the highest e-waste diversion rates in the country.
Once material has been reduced to a 1mm fraction, and mechanical recovery maximised, our proprietary metallurgical processes take over.
The process in action
Recovering resources for the circular economy
For us, recycling is about extracting as many commodities as possible, and redirecting those commodities back into the circular economy – ideally for re-use in manufacturing processes in Australia.
Up to
100%
Diverted From Landfill
Recycling does not mean shipping overseas, making our problem another nation’s to deal with, or just extracting the ‘easy’ commodities and sending the rest to landfill.
Sircel is achieving 100% diversion of e-waste from landfill, contributing to the circular economy for electronics, at multiple locations across Australia every day.
What e-waste can Sircel recycle?
We recycle commercial and household e-waste
Our groundbreaking, innovative technology enables up to 100% of e-waste to be recycled and diverted from landfill.
Likely, we can accept any e-waste product you have, including notoriously difficult items like TVs and flat screens. However, there are some exceptions, so please check out this list of what we can and can’t recycle. For example, we do not recycle batteries. Instead, these are sent to a verified downstream partner for safe, ethical processing.
Other e-waste collection and processing organisations don’t have the technology for processing whole devices and extracting the valuable material locked inside. Instead, they rely on manual dismantling, often shipping devices overseas. We never ship overseas – instead, we’re dealing with Australia’s e-waste problem on home soil.
