Giving
new value
to your
electronic
equipment.
SFDE supports businesses, industrial operators and digital-sector organisations in the collection, sorting, reuse and recovery of their end-of-use electronic equipment.
Our commitment
Professional management of electronic equipment, from pick-up through to final routing.
- 01 / COLLECTION
Organised collection
Pick-up and reception of your equipment according to its nature and volume.
- 02 / TRACEABILITY
Batch traceability
Identification, weighing and monitoring of equipment throughout its handling.
- 03 / PROCESSING
Adapted processing
Sorting, dismantling, reuse or secure processing depending on the equipment.
- 04 / RECOVERY
Optimised recovery
Routing equipment, components and materials to the most relevant solutions.
Five steps to turn waste into a resource.
Goods reception
Our trucks collect your electronic waste — computers, servers, switches, routers, phones, GSM enclosures, circuit boards — directly from your site. Every delivery is tracked and secured.
Weighing & pre-sorting
Upon arrival, the waste is weighed on an industrial scale and pre-sorted by equipment family. A precise waybill guarantees the traceability of every incoming flow.
Disassembly
Our operators manually disassemble each piece of equipment to isolate the highest-value sub-assemblies: circuit boards, memory modules, drives, power supplies, and cabling.
Board separation & sorting
Circuit boards are sorted by category according to their material potential. Copper, aluminum, and ferrous components are routed to their respective channels.
Preparation for recovery
Each metal category is sorted, packaged and identified by batch in suitable containers: labelled big-bags, drums or skips. The materials are then prepared for shipment to French and European recovery channels. This rigorous packaging facilitates flow tracking and ensures clear management right through to their final destination.
Recovery of professional electronic waste
Handling a professional WEEE flow follows a continuous chain: on-site collection, reception and weighing, pre-sorting by category, then equipment dismantling.
Dismantling separates the sub-assemblies: electronic boards, cables, metal structures and parts, data carriers. Each flow is then sorted, packaged and prepared before being routed to the matching recovery channel, with reuse remaining the priority whenever equipment is technically reusable.
Equipment containing storage media undergoes secure data destruction before any processing, while still-functional hardware is sorted for IT equipment reuse rather than material recovery.
IT equipment reuse
Before any material recovery, we identify equipment that is still functional. Computers, monitors, servers: tested, verified, and warranted — to give the hardware a second life and reduce the environmental impact of the digital industry.
- Complete functional diagnostics and testing
- Secure data erasure, report included
- Functional testing and restoration
- Return to the second-life market
SFDE in figures
Every year we turn end-of-life equipment into recoverable resources. Concrete volumes, measurable results, serving a more circular economy.
Extend equipment life. Preserve resources.
Every electronic device requires materials, energy and natural resources to manufacture. By prioritising reuse whenever possible, followed by dismantling and material recovery at end of use, SFDE helps keep these resources within the economic cycle.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Preserve value before creating waste.
Extend useful life
When equipment still has functional potential, giving it a second life can delay replacement and the manufacture of new hardware.
Reduce demand for new resources
Copper, aluminium, steel and other materials already present in equipment can be separated and routed back into recovery channels.
Make better use of existing materials
Dismantling and sorting turn complex equipment into more homogeneous fractions, each routed towards an appropriate solution.
Reduce electronic waste
Reuse, component recovery and material recovery help limit the share of equipment sent directly for disposal.
The best electronic waste is the one whose value can still be preserved.
