Electronics Manufacturing
Partnering with Electronics Manufacturers
The Amlon Group collaborates with electronics manufacturers to implement forward-thinking waste management practices that embody our vision of converting technological waste into sustainable advantages.
Electronics manufacturing generates complex waste streams containing valuable precious metals and materials requiring expert handling, particularly from printed circuit boards, semiconductor fabrication, and component assembly operations. Our integrated approach addresses these challenges through specialized recovery systems.
Precious Metal Recovery and Processing
We specialize in recovering valuable metals from electronics manufacturing waste streams:
Gold Recovery: Advanced processing of gold-bearing electronic components including connectors, circuit boards, and plated contacts, typically containing 0.1-2% gold content
Silver Reclamation: Comprehensive recovery from silver-bearing materials including contacts, conductive inks, and photovoltaic cell waste
Palladium Extraction: Specialized processing for palladium-rich components from multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), sensors, and integrated circuits
Platinum Group Metals: Recovery of platinum, rhodium, and other PGMs from specialized electronic components and catalytic systems
Electronic Component Processing
Our facilities process end-of-life materials from electronics manufacturing operations:
Printed Circuit Boards: Complete processing of PCBs to recover gold, silver, palladium, and copper while managing fiber glass and polymer substrates
Semiconductor Scrap: Processing of silicon wafers, die attach materials, and wire bonding waste containing precious metals
Connector and Contact Recovery: Comprehensive recycling of gold-plated connectors and electrical contacts from manufacturing trim and obsolete inventory

Customer Testimonials
"We were throwing away gold and palladium in our PCB waste until we started working with Amlon. Their recovery process is helping us meet our circular economy and other related ESG goals."
"Amlon's team really understands electronics manufacturing waste. They've optimized our disposal process and we're now recovering more from components we used to just scrap."
"Working with Amlon simplified our compliance reporting for waste management. Their processing recovered metals we didn't even know were valuable in our connector trim and other materials where we didn’t expect to find anything."
