Giving electronics a more responsible next chapter.

A device stops being useful long before its materials do. What happens in that gap — who handles it, what comes out of it, where it goes next — is the whole of our environmental case.

Electronics Materials Circularity Future

Three stages side by side: a damaged laptop lying among discarded circuit boards; a technician in cut-resistant gloves lifting components off a mainboard beside trays of sorted board, copper and metal; and recovered copper, metal and plastic laid out next to clean equipment with foliage behind

Nothing in a device is actually waste. It is only in the wrong place.

Every board, drive and handset holds metals and plastics that took energy and extraction to make once. Put whole into a landfill or a shredder, that value is gone and the hazardous fraction goes with it. Taken apart properly, most of it is still material — and material can go back to work.

The decision is not whether electronics reach end of life. They all do. It is what the next hands do with them.

From consignment to material.

  1. End-of-life electronics

    Equipment arrives as whole objects — laptops, servers, handsets, batteries — counted and weighed against the consignment it came in on.

  2. Separated by what it is

    Streams are split before anything is opened: data-bearing devices, batteries, boards, whole units. What happens next depends on which pile a thing is in.

  3. Taken apart, not broken up

    Shredding a whole device mixes every material inside it at once. Dismantling first keeps boards, metals, plastics and cabling separable — which is most of the difference between recycling something and disposing of it.

  4. Materials come back out

    Separated fractions are the point of the exercise: metals, plastics and board material, each recoverable because it was never allowed to mix with the others.

  5. Back into productive use

    Recovered material moves on to processors who can use it, and the hazardous fraction goes to handlers permitted to take it. Both movements are recorded.

A line has an end. A loop does not.

Most electronics are still handled as a line that stops at disposal. Circularity is the same journey bent round until the last step feeds the first one.

Our part of it, stated plainly.

Delco Global is a young company and says so. What follows is how we work, not a list of awards — and nothing here is claimed beyond the consent we actually hold.

Recovery before disposal
The default is to take equipment apart and keep its materials separable. Disposal is what happens to the fraction that genuinely cannot be recovered, not the first answer.
One operator, end to end
Collection, transport, dismantling and recovery run as a single process. Material that never changes hands between vendors is material that cannot quietly go somewhere it should not.
A record that survives the question
Weighed at pickup, sealed in transit, weighed again at intake. Environmental responsibility that cannot be evidenced afterwards is a claim, not a practice.
Hazardous fractions handled as hazardous
Batteries and other hazardous material are separated early and moved only to handlers permitted to receive them.
Permitted before operating
Delco Global holds an MPCB Consent to Establish, granted 29 May 2026, for the site at Village Dheku, Khopoli. That is permission to build the facility — we will say so plainly when the consent to operate follows, and not before.

Our impact so far.

Electronics collected, dismantled and recovered — and the organisations who trust us with what they retire. Every consignment adds to the same record.

Technology will keep moving forward. What it leaves behind should move with it.

Every generation of equipment arrives faster than the last one leaves. The part of that cycle nobody photographs — the room where last year's fleet is waiting — is where the environmental outcome is actually decided.
