Bangladesh's formal e-waste recycling sector has created over 12,000 direct and indirect green jobs while recovering resources worth an estimated BDT 2,400 crore annually. EWaste Prime's circular economy model prioritizes refurbishment over destruction, extending device lifecycles and redistributing technology to underserved communities across Dhaka, Chittagong, and rural Bangladesh.

Priority 2: Maximum Material Recovery — For non-refurbishable devices: Copper 98%, Aluminum 95%, Gold 97%, Silver 96%, Palladium 95%, Plastics 92% recovery rates.

Priority 3: Zero Landfill Commitment — 95% material recovery, 4% energy recovery, 1% hazardous disposal, 0% landfill.
