From Scrap to Profit: Complete Recycling Equipment Solutions for the Growing E-Waste Market
The electronics industry shows no signs of slowing down, and neither does the pile of discarded devices, spent batteries, and scrap cable that comes with it. E-waste is now one of the fastest-growing waste streams on the planet, but much of it still ends up in landfills rather than recovery facilities. For business owners willing to step in, that gap is an opportunity.
Why Invest Now
Regulations are tightening. The EU's WEEE Directive and similar laws across Asia, Africa, and the Americas are pushing manufacturers and recyclers to handle end-of-life equipment responsibly. At the same time, copper, lithium, lead, and precious metal prices make recycling operations genuinely profitable. The real question is not whether to invest, but who can supply a complete plant that actually works.
Who We Are
San Lan Technologies Co., Ltd has been building WEEE recycling machinery and mining equipment since 2007. From our base in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, we have designed, manufactured, and commissioned recycling plants for customers in more than 21 countries. Our range runs from single machines to full turnkey installations, covering every major type of e-waste and industrial scrap.
Our Core Solutions
Lead Acid Battery Recycling
Our lead acid battery recycling equipment provides complete systems that break and separate used batteries to recover acid, plastic shells, lead grids, and lead paste. Capacities range from 1 to 10 MT per hour, with integrated breaking-separating systems, de-sulfurization units, rotary furnaces, refinery kettle furnaces, and air pollution control that meets environmental requirements.
Lithium Battery Recycling
As EVs and consumer electronics multiply, spent lithium-ion batteries have become one of the most valuable waste streams available. Our li battery recycling equipment breaks and separates waste lithium batteries to recover black mass (containing nickel, cobalt, and graphite), plastic, copper, and aluminum. Throughput ranges from 500 to 2,500 kg per hour, with custom layouts to match your feedstock.
Cable and Wire Recycling
Copper and aluminum from scrap cables fetch strong market prices. Our cable recycling equipment includes scrap cable strippers, wet and dry granulators, and compact separation systems that produce high-purity copper powder and clean plastic granules. Whether you process thin communication wire or thick industrial cable, we have a system sized for your volume.
