Manual Sorting: The Indispensable Human Quality Filter

Even the best high-tech facility has its limits. Therefore, the manual sorting by our trained professionals is an essential and highly valued part of our recycling process. It is the critical quality gate in our ISO-9001 certified management system.

Especially within the framework of the ElektroG, manual disassembly and pre-sorting are legally required and essential for safety. The visual identification and careful removal of hazardous materials – such as hidden lithium-ion batteries, capacitors, or mercury-containing components – protect our facilities from fires and prevent the contamination of valuable material streams. The trained eye and experience of our employees ultimately guarantee the purity levels that machines alone cannot yet achieve, thus ensuring the high quality of our secondary raw materials.
