E-Recycling Programs for OEMs

While consumer e-waste recycling is straightforward, recycling and destruction projects for electronics manufacturers are more complex. OEM recycling projects typically include service definition, service level agreements, defined security protocols, and detailed reporting to meet strict corporate compliance requirements.

Some equipment requires more effort in one phase than another. For instance, closer attention is paid to equipment with batteries, as these can be both a fire hazard and a health hazard. Printers also contain higher percentages of plastics, so plastic separation becomes an important part of responsibly recycling printers.

It is common for us to manage multiple programs for the same manufacturer, based on product type, whether we are destroying new or used equipment, and if data destruction is required. Different material streams will require different reporting and tracking. How different materials are sorted will be defined during the onboarding process with E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd.

The building blocks of a more complex project may consider these factors:

Pickup Request
Using the E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd Portal, a client requests a pickup with detailed information about the material beyond just weight. It is common to specify piece counts, weight, and type of product to be picked up.

Logistics
Pickup and Transport – Many electronic OEM destruction projects require secure transportation to ensure all equipment is tracked and quantities confirmed. E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd offers multiple transportation providers, always finding the right balance between security and cost.

E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd Receiving and InventoryDeboxing/Unpacking – Most channel returns we receive are in their original retail packaging. Our sites are equipped to receive products in multiple formats such as pallets, boxes, and retail packaging. Our staff will unbox the products and separate packaging materials for recycling.

Sorting and Tracking – This step drives final inventory reporting. Sorting and tracking is most commonly by serial number, RMA number, or asset classification (type, color, size, shape). We scan and report serial numbers of complete products and/or parts as needed. With this service, clients have more visibility into their reverse supply chain and stock. Reporting provides insight as to which products and parts have been recycled and destroyed.

Inventory and Stocking – E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd can store and register your products as needed. On request, we can report back to you about the status of your inventory and redeploy products as needed.

Processing
Battery Removal – Batteries require special handling when recycling electronic equipment. E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd manually removes these hazardous items from equipment prior to recycling. Batteries are safely packaged and sent to downstream vendors for final processing.

Data Destruction – Some products contain sensitive company or personal data that needs to be erased to ensure data safety. Data destruction methods include erasing, degaussing, and shredding of storage media.

Parts Recovery – We recover spare parts for the repair of in-service assets. In addition to financial return for electronic manufacturers, parts recovery contributes to the circular economy, prioritizing reuse over recycling.

Resale – With the approval of our clients, we refurbish and resell whole units. Refurbishing equipment prior to resale increases the financial return for our clients. E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd has an excellent reputation in selling equipment in secondary markets.

Responsible Recycling – All of our recycling programs use demanufacturing and resource recovery through mechanical shredding. Products are shredded, granulated, and separated by commodity type into multiple secondary raw materials. This is achieved with the highest material yield and lowest environmental impact possible.

Shred Size – Many electronic manufacturers specify a small shred size for destroying proprietary equipment. This ensures all identifying characteristics of the equipment are destroyed, protecting the confidentiality for the manufacturer.

Witnessed Destruction – Some products demand a witnessed destruction process. E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd offers the option to witness the destruction of products by clients, either in-person or via webcam.

Reporting
Certificate of Destruction – By issuing our certificate of destruction, E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd guarantees that your e-waste or other proprietary equipment is recycled and destroyed in an environmentally compliant manner. This document confirms and finalizes the audit trail and includes order number, date of destruction, weight (lbs or kg), and E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd technician confirmation. Certificates of Destruction are available via e-mail or through the E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd Portal.

Material Fraction Report – Every shipment is weighed upon receiving at E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd. If required, we can monitor the weights during our recycle processes and provide you with a detailed mass balance report. This report provides full accountability for all material received and recycled.

Certificate of Sustainability – The Certificate of Sustainability shows the beneficial environmental offsets (carbon reduction) gained by reusing and recycling electronic equipment.

Inventory Report – This report summarizes information based on how items are sorted and tracked. Depending on your specific program, this report will include weight or quantities, equipment type or classification, such as color, size, shape, serial number, or RMA number. This report documents an audit trail and provides evidence of materials received by E-Cycle Solutions Pvt Ltd.

Material Invoice – The material invoice provides a financial summary of charges and credits on a monthly basis.
