Check out ECS refining, they will recycle your paste and dross and cut you a check. We usually send 1 55 gal drum of dross and 1 55 gallon of waste and get a check back for ~$150. You can also contact the solder suppliers they usually have recycle

yeah I’ve tried to go down the road of internal recycling but the company carnt justify spending 20k on a machine that does it. Ah but where still onto it in other places though our SMT department has very minimal wastage on solder paste as we have b

My company uses a SAC387 ribbon for stamping solder onto connectors before shipping to a customer. This stamping process creates a lot of SAC387 excess that we send off to be recycled at a very low price. This excess would be great for wave soldering

Can anyone suggest what plastic type SMT tapes for mostly embossed/deep pocket tapes are for recycling? I am talking about semi clear type, for 16/24mm widths usually pocketed. The black tapes we get from our Tape and reel supplier are thermo forme

Hi Experts, I have noted a savings opportunity on our work-place as chipmounters discard carrier tapes which are easily separated in different waste-containers below the feeders. Normally the company pays a service to dispose that waste. Have anyon

Back in October a post went up re: the fact that a solder manufacturer quit recycling paste, and the responses then weren't encouraging, so I'm gonna stir it up again. I haven't figured out what we're going to do with ours yet and it's piling up. N

Hi "If a PCB board is scrapped because it contains faults that cannot be repaired or it has been damaged, we currently quarantine them for a period of time. Once this period of time has passed the boards are then disposed." Sounds Good, Usually thi

I'd appreciate your support in the following issue: A significant batch of PCBs failed on de-lamination. The failure was identified, of course, only after the assembly. There is a big variety of components (BGA 1mm, BGA 0.8 mm, FQPs and other SMT co
