CPU

CPUs are a key category in electronic recycling because they are central processing units found in computers, servers, embedded systems, and industrial control equipment. Although small in size, they are highly engineered components with concentrated material value and consistent form factors. CPUs are usually collected from dismantled desktops, laptops, servers, or mixed electronic boards. Their dense construction makes them suitable for component-level sorting and specialized downstream processing. Including CPUs as a separate recovery item improves classification accuracy and supports more refined electronic scrap handling. Recycling CPUs also helps ensure that critical internal components are not lost within mixed streams and are instead directed into structured material recovery workflows.
