While smelting has been a traditional method for extracting metals from e-waste, it poses significant dangers to both the environment and human health. The process involves melting electronic waste at extremely high temperatures to separate and recover metals. Unfortunately, this method releases harmful pollutants, including toxic gases and fine particles, into the air, contributing to environmental contamination and health risks for surrounding communities.

Beyond environmental and health concerns, smelting is highly energy-intensive and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. Its reliance on high temperatures also results in inefficient energy use, making it an unsustainable choice for modern e-waste recycling. With growing environmental awareness, it’s clear that outdated methods like smelting need to be replaced with greener and more sustainable alternatives.

By choosing advanced, eco-friendly recycling processes, we can recover metals from e-waste without the detrimental effects of smelting. At GMR, we are proud to employ innovative solutions that prioritize environmental safety, and ensure the sustainable recovery of valuable materials. Together, we can protect the planet while achieving effective e-waste recycling outcomes.
