Why the Electronics Recycling Industry Needs Smarter Tools

Title: Why the Electronics Recycling Industry Needs Smarter Tools

Every year, millions of devices are tossed aside—phones, laptops, tablets—many of which still have untapped value. The problem? Most recyclers and refurbishers don’t have the tools they need to quickly and accurately determine that value.

That’s the gap we’re focused on at GreenSight.

Right now, the industry relies heavily on manual decision-making, siloed tools, and outdated software. In a space that handles thousands of devices a month, that kind of friction adds up—costing companies both time and money, and leaving valuable components underutilized.

We’re changing that with Scan-For-Value, our intelligent software solution designed to help electronics recyclers and refurbishers make smarter routing decisions, right at intake. With just a quick scan, facilities can instantly understand whether a device should be refurbished, resold, harvested for parts, or responsibly recycled.

But this is just the beginning.

GreenSight’s vision is to build a fully connected recovery system that brings automation, AI, and insight into every step of the process—from intake to remarketing. We believe in powering a more sustainable and efficient circular economy by helping the industry unlock the full potential of every device.

If you're a recycler, refurbisher, or sustainability advocate looking to push the industry forward—we’d love to talk.
