Management of the rapidly growing and highly hazardous electronic waste stream is one of the main environmental challenges currently facing Canada, and most other countries. Canada recycles or recovers only a small proportion of its e-waste, while up to 90% is disposed of in landfill sites or by incineration. Even the most technologically advanceddisposal methods and facilities currently in use involve environmental hazards. Pyrocycle has developed a new thermochemical process for recycling the end-of-life electronics waste, which could greatly facilitate moving forward to produce clean and high quality products including the recovery of precious metals.
