Electronic waste treatment
Industrial processing of circuit boards, motherboards, RAM, processors, hard drives, mobile devices and non-hazardous components, through dedicated plants and controlled cycles.
Alkemika designs industrial technologies and processes for the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment and for the high-purity refining of copper, gold, silver, palladium and tin. An advanced link in the recovery chain, at the service of recycling operators.
The mines of the future are already in circulation. Critical metals for industry are found in the electronic devices that reach the end of their first life cycle every day.
We recover from electronic waste the same metals that industry still extracts from the ground, reducing the dependency on traditional mining.
We bring copper, gold, silver, palladium and tin to industrial purity levels, returning them as secondary raw materials ready for reuse.
We operate as an industrial link downstream of collection and pre-treatment, serving recyclers, collectors and WEEE operators.
Alkemika designs and develops machinery, equipment and processes for the treatment of non-hazardous electronic waste and for the refining of the metals contained within it. A work that combines engineering, industrial chemistry and a precise understanding of the recovery supply chain.
We operate on technical and operational ground: circuit boards, decommissioned components, end-of-life circuits. From these flows we isolate and recover strategic materials, with the aim of reintroducing them into the industrial economy with quality and traceability.
Extracting from electronic waste the metals that industry continues to demand, through controlled and repeatable processes.
An economy in which traditional extraction is complemented, and progressively replaced, by the urban recovery of materials.
Continuous research on treatment, separation and refining. Our technologies stem from direct field experience.
Plants, controls and procedures designed for professional operators. No approximation, no generic claims.
Industrial processing of circuit boards, motherboards, RAM, processors, hard drives, mobile devices and non-hazardous components, through dedicated plants and controlled cycles.
Technical separation and recovery of metallic fractions found in electronic waste, with particular focus on base metals, precious metals and technology metals.
Electrolytic processes to obtain high-conductivity copper, one of the fundamental base metals for the electrical and electronic industry.
Recovery and refining of gold, silver, palladium and tin from electronic streams, through procedures designed to guarantee high purity levels.
Final refining treatments aimed at bringing recovered metals up to the standards required by target industrial sectors.
We position ourselves as an industrial partner downstream of collectors, recyclers and treatment centers, providing processing capacity and material valorization.
Every stage is designed as an interconnected technical module. Material value grows along the line: from a heterogeneous waste stream to homogeneous fractions, from homogeneous fractions to refined metals ready for industrial reuse.
Plant intake of WEEE streams delivered by authorized collectors, recyclers and treatment centers.
Analysis and categorization of materials by type, components and recovery potential.
Shredding, volume reduction and preparation of fractions for the following stages.
Isolation of metallic fractions from non-metallic ones through physical and technological processes.
Extraction of fractions containing copper, gold, silver, palladium and tin from processed streams.
Refining of metals up to the purity levels required by the industrial sector.
Returning refined metals to the supply chain as secondary raw materials ready for reuse.
Every ton of WEEE properly treated is one less ton of pressure on mines, transport and critical resources.
We don't consider sustainability a communication topic. It's the very structure of our process: if we don't recover materials, we don't have a product. If we don't reduce pressure on extraction, we don't have a market. If we don't trace flows, we don't have a service.
Materials that exit the waste cycle and re-enter the production cycle, with renewed industrial value.
Volumes of electronic waste diverted from disposal and transformed into recovered resources.
Reduced reliance on traditional mining for the supply of copper and precious metals.
Recovery of critical metals for European industry, through a responsible and traceable approach.
Treating electronic waste and refining metals requires constant attention to procedures, people and the environment. Our work is built on clear standards, documented controls and explicit responsibilities along the entire recovery chain.
Standardized procedures across all treatment stages, from waste intake to release of the refined metal.
Dedicated plants and industrial workflow designed for continuity and repeatability of results.
Regulatory and technical references for the WEEE sector integrated into internal operating procedures.
Attention to the impact of processing on the environment, with approaches designed to contain emissions and residues.
Recording of flows and materials throughout every stage of the process, as a tool of transparency toward partners.
Alkemika addresses those already operating in the collection and treatment chain of electronic waste, as a downstream technical partner for the recovery and refining of metals.
Our goal is to integrate with professional operators, providing industrial capacity, technical expertise and operational continuity to valorize the material flows they manage.
Become a partnerOperators authorized to collect electronic waste across the territory.
Pre-treatment plants that manage complex component streams.
Facilities authorized for the disposal and processing of electronic components.
Operators interested in the recovery and refining of metals from e-waste.
Indicative prices for the five metals processed by Alkemika on the reference international exchanges. Quotes are refreshed periodically and serve as a benchmark for valorising material flows from e-waste.
