― WEEE VALORIZATION
From waste
to resource
We manage WEEE to recover its value and reduce its impact.
Chile is the third largest generator of e-waste in South America.
More than 230,000 tonnes require traceability, responsible treatment and material recovery.

What is WEEE?
They are electrical or electronic equipment that reached the end of their useful life, became obsolete or fell out of use.
For Degraf, they are not just waste: they are assets and materials that can recover value through secure, traceable and responsible management.

What materials do we recover?
Through sorting and disassembly, we separate materials and components to return them to the production cycle.
Iron and steel
Copper and
aluminum
Gold, silver and palladium
Plastics
Glass
Reusable
components
Each material follows a valorization or treatment route defined by its condition.
We prioritize the options that preserve the most value
Prevention
Reuse
Recycling
Energy recovery
Final disposal

Extend useful life
We promote prevention and reuse to extend the equipment's life cycle.
Recover components
We recover functional components for reuse.
Recycle materials
We recycle valuable materials to reintroduce them into the production chain.
Manage non-recoverable fractions
We safely and responsibly manage non-recoverable fractions.
Environmental value
We reduce pollution and the use of natural resources through responsible WEEE management.
Business value
We optimize costs, mitigate risks and create value from technology assets.
Verifiable traceability
We ensure transparency and regulatory compliance at every stage of the process.
We assess your WEEE and design the best route to recover its value.
