What really happens to your old office hardware once it leaves your building? The
journey from decommissioned device to recovered raw material is complex, but when
done right it protects your data, your reputation, and the environment. Let’s follow
the life cycle of your e-waste.
Collection & Transport
On-Site Pickup: We arrive with secure containers and tamper-evident seals.
Chain of Custody: All movements are logged digitally to guarantee traceability.
Secure Data Destruction
Physical Shredding: Hard drives and storage media are shredded to pieces.
Digital Wipe: For devices you plan to refurbish, we use government-grade overwrite
software.
Sorting & Pre-Processing
Manual Disassembly: Technicians separate hazardous components (batteries, CRTs).
Material Streams: Plastics, circuit boards, metals, and glass go to different bins.
Material Recovery
Metals Smelting: Gold, silver, copper, and aluminium are extracted and refined.
Plastic Recycling: Specialized facilities process high-grade plastics back into pellets.
Final Treatment & Reporting
Landfill Diversion: Over 95% of materials are recovered; minimal residue goes to
disposal.
Certificate Issued: You receive a detailed report of weights, materials, and end-
destinations.
That’s the journey your e-waste takes when you choose CHC WEEE—secure,
transparent, and closed-loop.
➡️ Arrange your first collection and see how straightforward the process can be.
