Recycling equipment manufacturer notes the role of advanced shredding and separation technology in recovering rare earth metals from e-waste as demand rises and supply chains tighten.
(PRUnderground) February 12th, 2026
For nearly 25 years, ECO Green Equipment has produced industrial recycling equipment that supports recyclers worldwide in advancing material recovery and reuse. In light of growing momentum around rare earth metal recycling, emphasized in The Wall Street Journal’s recent Tech News Briefing podcast,1 ECO Green Equipment is weighing in on how high-performance shredding and separation systems can accelerate this critical transformation across the electronics recycling sector.
With its origins in tire recycling equipment, ECO Green Equipment has quickly grown into a leading manufacturer of turnkey recycling systems for not only tires but also plastic, biomass, industrial waste, and electronics. Known for engineering innovation and robust equipment design, ECO Green helps clients turn a variety of waste types into profitable products, reducing worldwide reliance on landfills and the harvesting of virgin materials. The company sees the growing need to recycle rare earth metals as a pivotal moment for recyclers ready to scale up electronics recovery with e-waste recycling equipment.
“Global demand for rare earth metals like neodymium and dysprosium is surging as they’re essential for electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and countless consumer devices,” said Brad Swenson, President of ECO Green Equipment. “At the same time, these materials are becoming harder and more costly to secure through traditional mining and refining, and supply chains remain concentrated in a few regions. That’s why reclaiming rare earths from e-waste is emerging not just as a practical option, but as an urgent strategic priority.”
While chemical and hydrometallurgical processes often make headlines in rare earth metal recovery, the success of those technologies depends heavily on upstream mechanical preparation of the material. ECO Green’s recycling equipment excels in shredding, granulating, and sorting electronic components into clean, size-controlled fractions and can lay the groundwork for more efficient downstream metal recovery. As legislative and market momentum grow around rare earth recycling, ECO Green’s team is actively working with partners worldwide to deploy scalable shredding and separation solutions tailored for electronics recovery.
“As interest in rare earth recycling accelerates, the recyclers will need to invest in strong fundamentals,” stated Swenson. “Effective recovery starts with mechanical systems that can process complex electronics reliably and at scale. Our focus is on giving recyclers the equipment foundation they need to participate in this next phase of materials recovery.”
ECO Green’s modular shredders and separation lines allow facilities to scale their operations in line with local regulations, waste streams, and end-market demand, tailored to diverse waste streams and feedstocks.
