What Is Electronic Waste (WEEE) and Why Is R12 Licensed Disposal Mandatory in Turkey?
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE / AEEE) encompasses all industrial, commercial and IT hardware that has reached the end of its operational life or technological depreciation cycle. Server motherboards, industrial PLC control boards, telecom base station cards and microchips contain gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu) and palladium (Pd) at concentrations significantly higher than natural mineral ores. However, they also contain lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated flame retardants. Under Turkish Environmental Law No. 2872 and the WEEE Regulation, transferring e-waste to unlicensed scrap dealers carries severe administrative fines. Katkısan Electronic Waste (İz Geri Dönüşüm ve Nakliyat Tic. Ltd. Şti. — İkitelli Tax Office / VKN: 4831355596), at our TS 13615 certified İkitelli OSB facility (Ministry R12 Permit No: 1150345, Approval: 58003700-150/E.3166; Zero Waste Certificate: TS/34/B3/16/831), isolates hazardous fractions with zero emissions and coordinates corporate IT asset disposition (ITAD) and ISO 15713 certified physical data destruction under a single roof.
PCB Circuit Board Grading and LME-Indexed Precious Metal Valuation
The per-kilogram value of electronic scrap is determined through technical assay based on gold-plated pin density, BGA/IC microchip architecture, multilayer copper content and silver solder ratios. Katkısan separately classifies telecommunication boards, enterprise server motherboards, RAM modules, CPU processors, industrial inverter boards and power electronics, ensuring transparent valuation indexed to daily London Metal Exchange (LME) rates. Across our integrated recovery services, alongside PCB refining we process industrial scrap cables (17 04 11) and UPS/forklift lead-acid batteries (16 06 01*).
