Material Recovery
Sustainable management to give you full visibility into your material streams.
We partner with vetted processors nationwide, ensuring each shipment goes to the most efficient and highest-value destination based on your needs.
When recycling your computers, laptops, notebooks, mobile devices, storage and peripherals, displays, batteries and servers are disassembled and destroyed. Usable parts can be harvested for resale or reuse. Secure data destruction is available to clients who protect from data breaches before recycling.
When recycled, metals, plastics and precious metals are processed, toxic materials like lead and mercury are removed so that they do not leach into the environment. Our partners are ISO 14001 Certified to ensure both transparency and that all materials are processed with the highest of environmental standards.
The result: you know exactly where your material went, how it was processed, and what you gained in environmental, operational, and financial terms.
closing the loop
When prime material becomes secondary, recovery keeps it in motion.
Hear how Shapiro’s circular approach transforms prime recovery into long-term sustainability. On our 5 for Five Podcast, leaders in manufacturing and recycling discuss how data visibility and proactive logistics keep high-value materials in circulation by maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste.
Our Services
What We Handle
We can support your material recovery management plans for a variety of electronic components and prime metals, including:
