SPARE Business Model
Our business model follows a circular value chain approach that transforms locally sourced electronic waste into valuable products through a series of integrated stages. This end-to-end
model ensures maximum resource recovery, environmental protection, and economic value creation. The process is illustrated in Figure below.
While recycling focuses on material recovery, repurposing aims to extend the life of electronic components by giving them a new function or application. Repurposing can take various forms, from refurbishing devices to creative upcycling projects
Once collected, the e-waste is sorted and categorized based on different criteria such as device type, material composition, and potential for recycling. This step helps identify which devices can be refurbished or reused and which ones need to be processed for recycling.
