Advanced Material Recovery

Giving Technology a Second Life.

Turning end-of-life technology into tomorrow’s resources through intelligent recovery, responsible recycling and sustainable material processing.

Recycling Is Resource Recovery

Turning End-of-Life Technology Into Tomorrow’s Resources

Technology Conservation Group believes sustainability is more than responsible recycling—it is about recovering value, preserving natural resources and extending the life of materials through intelligent processing.

Every asset entrusted to TCG represents an opportunity to reduce environmental impact, support the circular economy and return valuable commodities back into manufacturing while maintaining high standards of security, transparency and environmental stewardship.

Building a Circular Economy

Recover more. Waste less. Return resources back into the economy.

Electronic devices contain valuable raw materials that can be recovered and returned to manufacturing and industrial production.

AluminumLightweight metal returned to manufacturing
CopperHigh-value conductive material recovery
SteelDurable ferrous commodity streams
PlasticsSeparated for appropriate recovery channels
Precious MetalsGold, silver, palladium and platinum
Every pound recovered matters. Material recovery reduces demand for newly mined resources, energy consumption and emissions associated with raw material extraction and manufacturing.
Investing in Advanced Material Recovery

In-house processing designed for speed, quality and value.

TCG has invested in shredding and material-processing technologies that transform electronic equipment into clean commodity streams efficiently and responsibly.

01

Increase Recovery Rates

Recover a greater share of usable commodities from retired electronics.

02

Improve Commodity Quality

Create cleaner, more marketable material streams.

03

Shorten Processing Timelines

Move material from receipt to productive recovery faster.

04

Reduce Transportation

Limit unnecessary movement through internal processing capabilities.

05

Increase Value Recovery

Direct commodities toward appropriate high-value markets.

06

Lower Customer Costs

Efficient workflows reduce avoidable processing expense.

An Extensive Downstream Vendor Network

Established recovery relationships built since 1996.

TCG carefully selects downstream partners based on environmental responsibility, processing capability, regulatory compliance and transparency.

Every relationship is continually evaluated so recovered commodities enter responsible and high-value end markets.

Direct-to-Market Commodity Recovery

Specialized recovery channels reduce unnecessary handling.

Aluminum Recovery

Direct pathways to aluminum smelters

The majority of recovered aluminum is directed to smelters where it can return to manufacturing as new aluminum products.

Precious Metal Recovery

Specialized U.S.-based refiners

Materials containing gold, silver, palladium, platinum and copper are directed toward specialized recovery markets supporting domestic supply chains.

Our Zero Landfill Initiative

If material can be responsibly reused or recycled, it should never become waste.

Landfill disposal is considered only when no environmentally or economically responsible recovery option exists.

Reducing Environmental Footprints

Responsible recycling strengthens a more sustainable supply chain.

Less MiningReduced demand for virgin raw materials
Lower EmissionsLess extraction and transportation impact
Less EnergyReduced manufacturing energy requirements
Less WaterLower water demands associated with extraction
Less WasteMore material diverted into productive recovery
More CircularityResources returned to manufacturing supply chains
Sustainability Through Innovation

Nearly three decades of continuous investment and process improvement.

TCG continually invests in technology, equipment and process improvements that increase recovery rates while reducing environmental impact.

Our ability to dismantle, shred, separate and recover materials allows commodities to return to the marketplace faster while maintaining traceability, accountability and environmental stewardship.

Through continuous innovation, TCG transforms retired technology into reusable resources that support manufacturers, conserve natural resources and strengthen the circular economy.

Finding the Ecology in Technology®

Technology changes every day. Our commitment to protecting the environment never has.

Every asset represents another opportunity to recover resources, reduce environmental impact and create value.
