Selling, purchasing, and enhancing the value of unused Electronic Devices in the B2B circuit of the circular economy
WEEE — waste electrical and electronic equipment — covers computers, smartphones, servers, industrial instrumentation, circuit boards and other end-of-life components. These materials contain critical metals including copper, aluminium, lithium and rare earth elements, whose extraction from virgin sources is both energy-intensive and geopolitically sensitive for the EU. Proper management of industrial WEEE is therefore not only an environmental obligation, but also a matter of strategic raw material security.
In 2023, more than 14.4 million tonnes of electrical and electronic equipment were placed on the EU market — an 89% increase compared to 2012. Official WEEE collection reached 5.2 million tonnes, equivalent to just 11.6 kg per inhabitant. In Italy, according to the 2022 Electronic Waste Management Report published by the Centro di Coordinamento RAEE, the national collection rate stood at 34.01%.
For companies generating end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment, Sfridoo provides a dedicated B2B circuit to connect with the right partners for valorisation. The platform simplifies matching between organisations producing significant volumes of this material and those capable of transforming it into secondary raw materials.

100% cost savings on electrical and electronic devices
The Sfridoo team established a fruitful collaboration with a leading company in the electrical and electronic devices industry, which was incurring disposal costs of 250 €/ton on a batch of 10,000 devices.
Gain of 15,000€ on electrical devices disposal but still usable
A leading clothing company needed to obtain and discover the maximum economic value of an entire warehouse property located in the province of Milan.
Intenzione dell’azienda, non conoscendo il vero valore del magazzino, era quello di dismettere oggetti ancora funzionanti e riutilizzabili.
Refurbished electronic devices brought to value for a corporate digital company
The Sfridoo team helped a major corporate in the digital sector to make refurbished their electronic devices that were still in excellent condition but no longer useful to the company.

What can I do with my company's electronic devices instead of disposing of them?
Electronic waste is material recovered from the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, such as computers, printers, smartphones, household appliances, and business IT devices. This waste can be reused, reconditioned, or recovered for valuable materials.
What can I do with my company's WEEE instead of disposing of it?
Instead of disposing of your company’s electronic devices as waste, you can sell or relocate them on Sfridoo. Many electronic components retain their value even after they have been decommissioned and can be resold, reconditioned, or used for material recovery.
What steps do I need to take to register on the platform?
Registration on the platform is completed in two simple steps.
First, click on “START NOW” and indicate whether you intend to promote your materials or find materials and make purchase requests.

What are the advantages of selling electronic waste compared to disposal?
Selling unused electronic devices on Sfridoo allows you to earn money instead of paying disposal costs. It also reduces environmental impact, promotes the circular economy, and simplifies bureaucratic procedures compared to classifying them as waste.
How much time do I have to get the most out of my company's electronic devices?
Generally, electronic devices retain their market value for a period ranging from 2 to 5 years. After this time, they gradually become obsolete, reducing opportunities for sale or reuse. Planning disposal in a timely manner allows you to obtain a higher return.
Who can purchase waste from WEEE?
Waste from WEEE is sought after by recycling companies, electronic component manufacturers, refurbishment centers, and industrial entities that reuse recovered materials. These entities recover the materials contained in discarded devices for new production or direct reuse.
If I have multiple locations with decommissioned electrical equipment, do I need to create multiple profiles?
From a single profile, you can monitor all locations that produce waste and invite other users authorized by you to operate on Sfridoo.
