Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge technology, Hula Networks' electronics recycling channel process is unparalleled in scale and the quality of its performance. Hula Networks evaluates values and consolidates both end-of-life and networking scrap electronics for their metal and semiconductor value.

Offering assured destruction through shredding and/or melting of:

A certificate of destruction and weight will be issued once all material has been processed and destroyed.

Shredding

• After e-waste has been pre-picked, it flows into the shredding line to be sized down for commodity separation. The main shredder breaks material down into 4" x 10" fragments and the final shredder reduces it further into poker chip-sized fragments that are optimal for the separation processes.

Separation

• Hula Networks separates the components, ferrous metals (steel), copper and precious metals, aluminum, and plastic.
• The steel and aluminum are recycled as the metals, the plastic is recycled as plastic, and the copper and precious metals are sampled, prepared, and packaged for shipment to a primary copper smelter.
