Collection methods
eMiner employs two distinct methods to gather electronic waste:
Direct collection: we collect electronic waste directly from businesses and individuals.
Recyclers and distributors: we work with certified recyclers and distributors who collect these materials and sell them to eMiner.
Processing and proper disposal
Once collected or received, the materials are brought to our warehouse, where our process for controlling and correctly disposing of these waste begins.
Documentation: photos of all received materials are taken, and their weights are recorded in our system, along with the supplier’s information.
Segregation: the materials are then allocated to their respective sectors, where metals, plastics, and circuit boards are removed.
Recycling: metals and plastics are recycled shortly after in Paraguay, while the circuit boards are sorted by classification and prepared for export.
