From WEEE circuit boards, we recover value.
Our Microfactories utilize Artificial Intelligence and Robotics to identify and extract valuable electronic components — CPUs, capacitors, heatsinks, connectors, transformers — which, after a reconditioning process, are reintroduced into the second-life market through our e-commerce channels.
WEEE: the waste stream that is growing fastest in the world.
Discarded electronic boards contain concentrations of gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements up to 50 times higher than those in a natural deposit. Yet over three-quarters of global WEEE escapes tracked recycling: critical raw materials lost, contaminants released into the environment, economic value burned.
62 Mton / year
Electronic waste generated worldwide. Projected 82 Mton by 2030.

Environmental unsustainability
Highly harmful and polluting elements (lead, mercury, cadmium) migrate into the soil and aquifers.

Value of critical raw materials lost each year — more than the GDP of many countries.

“Ignoring urban mines is no longer sustainable, either ecologically or economically. Every electronic board is a deposit waiting to be recognized.”

Our Solution
Orbita Technologies has developed a proprietary system combining artificial intelligence and advanced robotics to turn WEEE boards into an economic and environmental resource.
Maximize value, minimize waste.
- AI identification of circuit boards with residual market value for direct reuse
- Robotic extraction of intact components: CPUs, capacitors, heatsinks, connectors, and transformers
- Routing recovered components to certified reconditioning supply chains
- Precision disassembly that preserves the electrical and mechanical integrity of components
- Mass removal of remaining components aimed at streamlining any subsequent pyrolysis treatments
How It Works
A linear, transparent, and fully traceable process that maximizes value recovery.
1. Collection and Logistics
We acquire batches of electronic boards from partner WEEE treatment plants, IT companies, and authorized collection centers.
2. AI Identification
Our computer vision system analyzes each board to determine its residual market value and identify salvageable components.
3. Selective Extraction
Robotic arms extract components: CPUs, capacitors, heatsinks, connectors, and transformers while preserving their electrical integrity.
4. Reconditioning
Extracted components are sent to the reconditioning supply chain and reintroduced into the electronic spare parts market.
The technology, our core strength.
Orbita's competitive advantage lies in the integration of hardware and software designed specifically to identify and recover value from the heterogeneous world of WEEE.
Obsolete Board Evaluation
Our proprietary algorithm analyzes each WEEE board to determine its residual market value, distinguishing between those still marketable and those to be routed for selective disassembly.
Computer Vision & ML
Neural networks trained on thousands of PCBs instantly identify high-value components — CPUs, large capacitors, heatsinks, connectors, and transformers.
Robotic Microfactory
Our AI-driven facility extracts components without compromising their electrical or mechanical integrity.
Component Reconditioning
Recovered components are sent to our reconditioning centers, ready for a second operational life.
The Orbita Team
A multidisciplinary team united by one mission: to innovate and optimize the WEEE treatment supply chain.

Invest in the future of electronics
Orbita Technologies operates in a rapidly growing market, backed by proprietary technology and a top-tier team.
480 Billion Market
The global electronic components market is growing at an annual rate of 8%. Europe is the region with the strictest regulations and the highest demand.
Scalable Model
Orbita's process is replicable: each additional facility multiplies processing capacity while maintaining high margins thanks to AI automation.
Dual Revenue Stream
Revenue from selling reconditioned components and from optimizing the recovery of critical raw materials.
Barriers to Entry
Patented technology, an AI system trained on thousands of PCBs, and a network of certified partners create a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate.
Proven Traction
Growing commercial pipeline and LOIs signed with three partner companies in Italy.
Impact Investing
Every ton processed by Orbita avoids the virgin extraction of critical raw materials, delivering a significant ESG impact.
