Customers are increasingly asking what happens to their old computer. Computers are completely, manually disassembled by Van Pelt Urban Mining employees so that all materials can go directly to end processors who can turn them into new products. This way of Urban Mining ensures that valuable metals do not end up in incinerators and reduces the need to extract these materials from polluting and dangerous mining operations. A win-win situation!

Many computers are still being recycled through shredders and sorting installations, but this regularly results in batteries catching fire in a shredder with all the consequences that entails. This is why Van Pelt Recycling opts for complete manual dismantling, where the batteries and other hazardous components are separated from the metal at source and transported to a specialized processor.

In this way, Van Pelt Recycling aims to conduct future-proof, inclusive and socially responsible business. Our customers can demonstrate that their metal and electronics are recycled in a future-proof manner, and can also use our input in their CSR strategy and when completing Tenders / European tenders.

Van Pelt Urban Mining of course has all the necessary certificates for recycling old electronics.
