Let every piece of waste board get a new lease of life — the anthem of circuit board recycling equipment

#Industry ·2026-02-07

In the era of information explosion, the circuit boards we discard annually could pave the entire Macau Peninsula. They were once the "brains" of mobile phones, computers, and pacemakers, but after being retired, they have become "landmines" rich in heavy metals. How to disassemble this landmine gracefully without making the Earth pay the price? The answer lies in an unremarkable production line - circuit board recycling equipment.   The first process is "undressing". High-speed blades, like surgeons, precisely cut open the plastic shells, exposing the palm-sized green substrates. The second is "crushing". Hammer blades rotate at 4,000 rpm per minute, turning hard and brittle boards into millimeter-sized particles, yet acting like a magical sieve, allowing metals and resins to "go their separate ways". The third is "sorting". The high-pressure electrostatic field acts like an invisible giant hand, attracting copper particles to the anode while glass fibers fall into the lower material bin, with a recovery rate of up to 98%. Finally, the pulse dust removal system captures the scattered lead and cadmium vapors into activated carbon tanks, with exhaust emissions ten times lower than the EU ROHS standards, truly achieving "maximum utilization with no waste".   In Chuxiong, Yunnan, a small factory uses this equipment to process 3,000 tons of waste boards annually, with the copper directly supplied to nearby cable factories and the resin powder becoming the core material for highway noise barriers. The boss did the math: with copper priced at 70,000 yuan per ton, the equipment costs could be recovered in a year, creating 50 jobs. More touching is that the sunflowers next to the factory no longer bow to acidic wastewater. They follow the sun, dancing to the rhythm of the circular economy.   However, technology is not the end, but a new starting point. Even the most efficient equipment is useless if consumers lock their old phones in drawers. The "last mile" of the recycling chain requires everyone's help: handing over obsolete electronic products to formal outlets so that circuit board recycling equipment can shine. When discarded circuit boards are remelted into shiny copper foil and illuminate new chips again, we will truly understand the profound meaning of recycling - the Earth doesn't need saviors, but responsible neighbors.
