Business Opportunity: eWaste Recycling

Occassionally, CnR is approached by individuals and companies with various business propositions and opportunities that may be of interest to our readers. We cannot, however, make any guarantees and, as with any business activity, interested parties are advised to do their own due diligence. If you have a business opportunity you would like to promote on CnR, please e-mail the details here.

eWaste

Each year, 20-50 million metric tonnes of “electronic waste” (eWaste) are discarded by businesses and consumers worldwide. An eWaste recycling company in Guangzhou, China wants to source large quantities of eWaste (old computers, electronics, household appliances, etc.) from outside China to be shipped over to China for processing and recycling.

They’re looking for people who are familiar with and/or reside in their respective home countries that can help them locate and purchase such stockpiles of electronic waste from municipal, regional, national, public, or private electronic waste collection centers, junkyards, etc.

Your level of involvement depends on you.

Upon finding such stockpiles, you would initially be responsible for gathering and communicating information to ascertain and negotiate the value of the waste with the company. You can then choose to either invest in purchasing the waste yourself from the source and resell it to the company for a profit OR you can negotiate a finder’s fee and the company will send their own people out to deal directly with the source.

The company currently purchases its waste from a Chinese waste importer and would prefer to import the waste themselves directly from abroad.

Should you be interested and would like to be put in touch with the company’s representative, please contact me directly here.

UPDATE: Due to falling scrap prices, the Guangzhou company mentioned here is no longer operating and therefore no longer offers this opportunity. Thank you to everyone who e-mailed me (and continues to e-mail me) with their interest.

    Dear all,
    Please assist me to establish e waste recycling plant in Tanzania

    • Your can contact me for more info at my email adress and we may discuss this opportunity.

    • Twalane Migiro says:

      Peter, I hope you will still receive this! I know this is an old post but I just wanted to know if you made any progress with the e-waste idea you were pursuing. I am pursuing the same thing for Tanzania, and this site came up on Google! So please , kindly let me know.

      Thanks.
      Twalane.

      • Freya says:

        Hey Peter
        Idem as Twalane. Did you progress in your project and/or do you know more about e-waste management in Tanzania.
        Thanks,
        Freya

      • Freya says:

        And Twalane: what are your plans?

        • Twalane Migiro says:

          Hi Freya,

          Initially I was just looking to establish some sort of collection service and export the waste to nearest recycling sites. But an even better idea is to get a partnership with a recycling company or investor to actually setup a site in Tanzania.

          • Innocent says:

            Hello!
            I am very glad to find your post in this website, am Tanzanian well conversant with e-waste management in legal and social perspective. I can be contacted through this innodeme@yahoo.co.Uk and 0654 515572.

  3. Kai Pan says:

    Hi Peter (not Quinn), I wish I could help you but neither eWaste nor establishing an eWaste recycling plant in Tanzania is in my area of expertise. If you speak Chinese, I could possibly connect you with the owner of the eWaste recycling company in Guangzhou…

  4. Deepak says:

    Hi Kai,

    We are a group of people planning to enter in @ EWaste Business. If you can provide in details as in:
    1. What waste materials are u looking forward for ?
    2. Do you categorize the waste as Working/Not working condition?
    3. How much quantity are u lookin for on an annual basis ?
    4. Do you have any nos. as to how many quantity of waste on a particular product you actually acquire for a month/year ?

    Any additional details would be gr8 for us to know more before we start. Residing in Souther India.

    Deepak

  5. Kai Pan says:

    Deepak, I’ve been passing on all e-mails I get regarding this post to my contact who recently told me that the original soliciting company is currently not operating due to tightening restrictions on import/export, presumably due to the Olympics. Therefore, I’m afraid I can’t offer you much help with regards to your questions. I will, however, still forward your e-mail to my contact should they resume operations in the near future. Thanks and cheers.

  6. frank says:

  7. Stuart Chen says:

    Hi Kai,

    I can currently locate and source alot of e-waste material. My porblem comes from exporting them to china from australia. Will you be able to put me in contact with some suppliers that are able to import?

    Many thanks
    Stuart

  8. Compliance and accountability to environmental concerns are the most important factors when considering developing a recycling plant or doing business with a recycling plant. There may exist a great opportunity to profit from the collection and sale of e-waste, however the cost later for abuse by individuals and organizations will be more than financial. Fines may slow down or stop the efforts of abusers in this developing industry. However what we will find out later is that we all will be eating and drinking the mistakes of this e-waste problem. Contaminated soil and water sources are already affecting our ecological and biological system.

    Be Informed. Be Accountable.
