About Us
We deliver fully automated recycling solutions to the e-waste recycling sector that are affordable, safe, environmentally friendly and profitable.
6.5 million metric tonnes
of screens and monitors are added to the ever growing e-waste stream each year.
Traditional recycling activities (like shredding and manual disassembly) are not keeping pace with the global growth of e-waste, causing environmental, social and economic issues.
Our vision is that every used flat screen in the world becomes a valuable commodity rather than hazardous waste.
The e-scrap recycling industry is in urgent need of an efficient, low cost and safe FPD recycling process.
With this in mind we have developed fully automated, high through-put, FPD robotic recycling systems that are transforming recycling of flat screens and laptops into a profitable business line.
FPD Recycling is transforming the way end of life screens and laptops are processed by providing a solution that depollutes them in a safe, compliant and profitable manner.
We promote the circular economy by creating safe, sustainable and flexible automation solutions for all forms of difficult and hazardous e-waste.
Our Story
FPD Recycling was established from the need to provide recyclers with a safe, efficient and profitable solution to deal with growing problem of hard to recycle e-waste.
Today, we are happy to see that thanks to our technologies, perception of e-waste is changing from environmental risk and disposal problem to a valuable resource of secondary raw materials.
Our first goal was to develop an automated process for recycling TVs, monitors and laptops – and since it needed to be safe, efficient and profitable, we brought robotics and Artificial Intelligence in to do the hard and dirty work.
