Electronic Scrap Recycling Market - Advance Technology Evolve in E-Waste Recycling Trends in Future


This report aims to provide a comprehensive strategic analysis of the global electronic scrap recycling market along with revenue and growth forecasts for the period from 2013 to 2022. The proliferation of computing and electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, tablets, televisions, small home appliances, digital cameras, music players, and laptops; shorter product lifecycles; and government legislations governing electronic waste (e-waste) are major factors influencing the electronic scrap recycling market. Hardly any electronic and electrical product does not contain metals or is not dependent on metals for its manufacturing. In e-waste recycling, damaged and unusable electronic and electrical products are processed and the metals they contain are extracted for use in new products.

Electronic and electrical products are progressively part of our life. In order to ensure that they have only a minimum impact on environment, end-of-life electronic products must be processed and the metals they contain must be recycled. The total volume of e-waste is increasing globally, but the number of smelters available to process it is very small.

In recent years, collected and scrapped electronic products have accounted for the largest increase in material type, primarily in the form of printed circuit boards (PCBs) from mobile phones and computers. Boliden Group (Boliden Rönnskär) has been melting out different types of recycling materials since 1960. The company owns technologies developed in-house, as well as an extensive capacity to process different type of materials.

This research study on the global electronic scrap recycling market provides a detailed analysis of how recycling and smelting companies in different regions are using electronic scrap for the extraction of different types of ferrous, non-ferrous, and precious metals from electronic scrap. The report offers an in-depth study of the market drivers, restraints, and growth opportunities. Using these factors, the report identifies various trends expected to impact the market during the forecast period from 2015 to 2022.
