The new 42,000 sq. ft. facility will allow the company to serve clients in North America and the Pacific Northwest region. This facility is expected to be operational towards the end of 2020 due to the delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility in Seattle will be a replica of the company’s other US-based facilities and will provide precious metal recovery from electronic waste. The company constructed this facility in view of the strong response received from the US market in recent years. This will help the company to grow its business in the North American region.
- In June 2020, TES-AMM Pte. Ltd. (TES) announced the expansion of its operations in Thailand and Hong Kong, thereby increasing the overall processing capacity of the company. In Thailand, the company acquired a 3,500-sq. m. facility in Ayutthaya province to support its full suite of IT lifecycle solutions, including electronic waste recycling, which is used for precious metal recovery. With the opening of these facilities, TES affirmed its dedication to providing IT lifecycle solutions for clients all over the world, apart from establishing the company as one of the leaders in the precious metals e-waste recovery business.
Precious Metals E-waste Recovery Market Dynamics
Driver: Demand for precious metals in industrial applications and as an investment tool
Real demand for precious metals, such as copper, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, rises from their use in industrial applications. Copper is the most abundant and least expensive of the precious metals and provides excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. As a result, copper is used extensively in electrical power transmission, plumbing, and cookware. Gold is used in electronics, medical, and dental applications, primarily due to its high conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is also used as a chemical catalyst in pharmaceutical drug manufacturing. However, the demand for gold is mostly influenced by the jewelry industry. Silver has predominantly been used in photography; however, its demand is now growing from new areas, such as the manufacturing of solar cells and phone and laptop batteries. Platinum and palladium are ductile, malleable, and offer high chemical resistance. Hence, they are widely used in electronics, vehicle emission control devices, and as catalysts in chemical reactions. These metals are, however, less abundant compared to copper, gold, and silver. The combination of all these factors creates an active global market for precious metals.
Restraint:Issues related to use of cyanide leaching in precious metal recovery from e-waste
For precious metal recovery from e-waste, vat leaching is generally preferred where the pulverized e-waste is mixed with a sodium cyanide solution in large tanks. As cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable recovery of precious metals. However, cyanide is a highly toxic chemical and can result in substantial environmental impacts and public health risks. Cyanide spills have resulted in contamination of drinking water supplies, destruction of agricultural lands, and loss of lives. Although aqueous solutions of cyanide degrade rapidly in sunlight, less toxic products, such as cyanates and thiocyanates, may persist in the soil for several years. Cyanide spills into groundwater can persist for longer periods and contaminate drinking water aquifers
Opportunities: Low recycling activities of e-waste for precious metal recovery
According to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020, in 2019, the world produced approximately 53.6 million MT of e-waste. However, the formal documented collection and recycling of e-waste amounted to only 9.3 million MT. This shows that the recycling activities are not keeping pace with the global growth of e-waste. Most of the undocumented domestic and commercial e-waste is probably mixed with other waste streams or metal waste, resulting in the loss of precious metals, which can be recovered for commercial purposes. Market entrants can view this scenario as an opportunity to build given the vast amount of e-waste available worldwide.
Challenges:Risk to human health and environment
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are not hazardous per se. However, the hazardous constituents present in their waste render it dangerous for health and environment when they are recycled or processed for the recovery of precious metals. If e-waste is dismantled and processed in a crude manner, its toxic constituents can create major health issues on human body. These include birth defects, altered neurodevelopment, adverse learning outcomes, adverse respiratory effects, skin diseases, and even cancer in some cases. E-waste workers have also reported stress, headaches, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness at work places due to prolonged exposure to harmful working conditions.
Based on source, household appliances is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on source, the household appliances segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. Household appliances are electric and electromechanical devices which assist in homemaking and home functions such as cooking, cleaning and food preservation. Increasing population, urbanization and rising disposable income are projected to increase demand for electronic household appliances during the forecast period. Consumer electronics segment is expected to be the second-largest source segment during the forecast period
Copper is expected to be the fastest-growing metal segment of the precious metals e-waste recovery market.
Based on metal, the copper segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. Use of copper in building construction, power generation and transmission, electronic product manufacturing, and the production of industrial machinery and transportation vehicles is expected to increase consumption of copper during the forecast period. Copper wiring and plumbing are also integral to the appliances, heating and cooling systems, and telecommunications links used every day in homes and businesses resulting in an increased consumption during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional segment in the precious metals e-waste recovery market.
The precious metals e-waste recovery market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia are the key countries contributing to the high demand for precious metals in the Asia Pacific region. Availability of cheap labor and raw materials has resulted in making Asia Pacific a preferred region for manufacturing facilities of electronic and automobile companies which consume pecious metals for better conductivity and to limit pollution respectively. This makes Asia Pacific the fastest-growing region of the precious metals e-waste recovery market.
