EVIDENCE

What came out, measured.

Every figure below came off an instrument, and every one is open to inspection.

WHAT QUALIFIES

Waste acceptance criteria.

This tells you whether your material qualifies before you call. Five streams, and the minimum reading each one has to hit.

Waste acceptance criteria, current streams
Stream Element Condition Value
Lead frame Cu > 99%
Total precious 0.2%
IC Base = Cu
Total precious 0.5%
Cable Cu > 70%
SW104 metal dross Sn > 40%
Al > 50%
SW325 silver epoxy Ag > 80%

These thresholds cover the standard solid streams above. Liquid streams, such as plating wastewater and spent baths, are assessed individually because their value depends on concentration, not a fixed threshold. Get a free assessment to find your own number.

Material outside these criteria is still worth a conversation. Send a sample and we will tell you what it is worth.

THE DRUM

Weighed before, weighed after.

During electrolytic recovery, metal deposits onto a titanium drum. The drum is weighed before recovery starts and again after. The difference is recovered metal.

Before recovery, 15.76 kilograms. After recovery, 26.33 kilograms.

Drum mass, before recovery and after

That gap, 10.57 kg, is metal that was in solution and is now on the drum. It is weighed, not estimated.
