Valuable and sustainable
When spring contact pins are replaced, they are far from worthless: Turn your gold scrap into cash with our spring contact recycling program.
The gold contained in old spring contacts and receptacles, used to enhance electrical conductivity, can be recovered through precious metal recycling. This offers you two major advantages: you receive a significant reimbursement for your used spring contacts, improving the total cost of ownership of your contact pins, and at the same time, you contribute to the circular economy of spring contacts.
Why Spring Contact Recycling Matters
Sustainability is not just a trend, but a necessity — even in the electronics industry. By recycling spring contact pins, you actively contribute to reducing electronic waste while conserving valuable resources.
Our spring contact recycling program offers solutions for sustainable spring contacts and helps minimize environmental impact. Through the return and recycling of spring contact pins by our customers, less raw material needs to be mined, and at the same time, companies can lower their production costs.
