It’s predicted that by 2030, global e-waste will reach 74 million metric tons

Almost doubling in just 16 years, this would make e-waste the world’s fastest-growing domestic waste stream. In 2019 alone, a record 53.6 million metric tons of electronic waste was generated worldwide.

At SK tes, we’re committed to doing our part to close the loop.

From pick-up to repurposing, we process your electronic waste using sustainable recycling techniques. Every step of the process has security embedded to protect your brand from reputational damage, whilst ensuring environmental impact is minimized.

State-of-the-art facilities

Electronic devices have become an essential part of our lives. However, this places a heavy burden on scarce natural resources. At SK tes, we recycle and repurpose electronic devices to ensure the long-term sustainability of our planet. Our state-of-the-art, global facilities use pioneering technology to set the standard in the electronics recycling industry.

In-house expertise and processing

From the moment the devices leave your premises, our in-house experts take care of them until they are renewed and repurposed. This ensures a vertically integrated chain of custody that is reliable and secure. Our innovative recycling processes ensure that we achieve the highest levels of raw material recovery with improved environmental outcomes. 

Innovative and highest-level compliance
