In today’s world, product recalls are more common than most businesses would like. Whether due to safety concerns, performance issues, or regulatory changes, recalls are a necessary part of responsible product stewardship. But what happens after a recall is issued? That’s where recall recycling comes in—a critical, often overlooked part of the process.
What Is Recall Recycling?
Recall recycling is the secure, responsible, and certified destruction or disposal of recalled products, particularly electronics and batteries. These items often cannot be resold or reused due to liability or safety concerns, making proper handling essential.
Many recalled items include:
- Consumer electronics (laptops, tablets, smartphones)
- Batteries (especially lithium-ion)
- Components used in manufacturing
- Power supplies or chargers
- Industrial equipment or parts
Simply tossing these items isn’t an option. Recalled products must be tracked, dismantled, and processed in a way that protects your brand, data, and the environment.

- Certified processes (R2v3, e-Stewards)
