E-Waste Is Growing. So Should Our Intelligence.

Electronic waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world.

Each year, over 50 million metric tons of electronics are discarded—and less than 20% of that is properly recycled. The rest? It ends up in landfills, shipped overseas, or incinerated, taking valuable materials and environmental costs with it.

But here’s the truth: most of that e-waste didn’t have to be waste at all.

At GreenSight, we believe that smarter tools can change the story. When recyclers and refurbishers have real-time data, AI insights, and efficient workflows, they can extract far more value from each device—rescuing functioning components, reusing materials, and reducing what’s thrown away.

The key is intelligence at the point of decision.

That’s why we started with our Scan-For-Value tool. By enabling quick, automated triage of used electronics, we empower facilities to make informed, sustainable decisions at scale. The more value we can recover from devices, the fewer raw materials we need to extract—and the less environmental damage we cause.

Our mission isn’t just about operational efficiency. It’s about giving this industry the intelligence it needs to lead the circular economy.

If we want to fix the e-waste problem, we have to start with smarter systems.

Let’s build a future where nothing of value goes to waste. Get in touch.
