Upcycling

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products
of better quality or for better environmental value.
A huge differentiating factor that sets ERS International apart is our
capability of upcycling e-waste materials into innovative products. Postprocessed e-waste materials such as mixed plastics and glass would
otherwise be discarded and dumped in landfills.
We have made significant headway and scientific breakthroughs in
this untapped upcycling field. Going beyond the scope of e-waste,
our research & development department(s) have discovered how to
conjunctionally reuse waste materials from other industries as well primarily natural stone waste.
Using our proprietary upcycling process, we’ve engineered and created
products unlike the world has seen. From our mixed plastics extrusion
process producing plastic lumber furniture, to our glass and natural stone
fusing process producing stunning architectural products; we introduce
these innovative products back into the cycle of life further reducing
landfills from unnecessary waste.
This is why we are so heavily committed to our R&D Department.
This is what sets us apart.
This is how we make a significant difference.

Scientists working in our state of the art laboratory
are always searching for solutions when solutions
are needed. Initially, ERS International was
recycling up to 98% of virtually all electronics;
our goal was to go above and beyond that. ERS
International has gone beyond conventional
recycling methods and found solutions for
difficult-to-recycle materials such as mixed plastics
and glass. Upcycling these otherwise discarded
materials into innovative products allows us
to further reduce our landfills, further reduce
our carbon footprint and recycle 99.99% of all
incoming electronics.

You may no longer need some of
your electronic equipment, however,
it may still have value to someone else.
ERS International will not only take the
equipment off your hands but, because
we understand the market value of your
assets we will test, assess and assure you
receive every last dollar of recovery value
before you finally dispose of it.

ENSURING CORPORATE
Responsibility
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Landfill diversion is now a critical public issue in
many jurisdictions worldwide. Since office waste
makes up such a large proportion of overall
waste production, corporations are increasingly
under scrutiny to be responsible with their
e-waste. In addition, many hazardous items in
common electronics equipment could cause
severe environmental damage if not disposed of
properly. ERS International ensures your electronic
waste is diverted from land-fill and dealt with in
an environmentally safe and responsible manner.
Together lets, “Do What’s Right”.
