Printed circuit boards from used electronic equipment are among the most valuable components of electronic waste. They contain copper, gold, silver, palladium, tin, and other metals, as well as laminates and plastics that require proper processing. PCB recycling involves component separation, shredding, sorting, and metal recovery using mechanical, thermal, and chemical processes. This makes it possible to recover high-value raw materials, reduce the amount of electronic waste, and lower the demand for primary metal extraction.
