EPA Environmental DataWhat is Urban Mining?
Urban mining is the process of recovering precious metals and strategic materials from discarded electronic waste — smartphones, computers, circuit boards, batteries and industrial equipment.
Unlike conventional mining, which devastates ecosystems and consumes enormous amounts of water and energy, urban mining transforms what would be waste into high-value raw material. A single phone contains over 30 elements from the periodic table, including gold, silver, copper, palladium and rare earths essential to the technology industry.
Metal Recovery
Gold, silver, copper, palladium and rare earths extracted from circuit boards and electronic components.
Hidden Value
1 ton of phone circuit boards contains up to 300g of gold — 80x more than conventional mining.
Environmental Impact
Up to 95% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to primary metal mining.
Growing Market
The global urban mining market is expected to reach US$ 45 billion by 2030.
Cutting-edge technology for every stage of the process
Integrated solutions covering the entire urban mining value chain, from raw waste to refined material.
Electronics Recycling
E-Waste ProcessingComplete plants for processing electronic waste: smartphones, computers, TVs, printed circuit boards and various components. Shredding, magnetic and electrostatic separation technology.

From waste to resource: every step matters
Collection & Receiving
Structured reverse logistics for electronic waste collection. Initial sorting and classification by material type and contamination level.
Full traceability via digital systemShredding & Reduction
Industrial shredders reduce material to smaller fractions, preparing it for separation stages. Precise granulometric control.
Granulometry from 10mm to 100mmSorting & Classification
Magnetic separation, eddy currents, optical sensors and air classification separate ferrous, non-ferrous metals, plastics and other materials.
Recovery rate above 95%Refining & Purification
Chemical and metallurgical processes refine recovered metals to commercial purity. Gold, silver, copper and palladium with certification.
Purity above 99.5%Final Product
Refined metals and recovered materials are packaged, certified and made available for reintroduction into the industrial production chain.
Origin certification and traceabilityReports & Compliance
Detailed reports on mass, composition, recovery and final destination. Compliance with national and international environmental legislation.
PNRS, WEEE Directive, BaselGerman engineering, Brazilian industrial strength
Recyflux Systems was born from the convergence of three complementary forces: the German technological precision of Arpe GmbH, the Brazilian industrial robustness of Fragmaq, and a strategic commercial vision focused on Latin America.
Our mission is to offer complete and integrated solutions for the treatment, recycling and valorization of electronic and industrial waste. We don't just sell equipment — we design, manufacture, install and operate complete industrial plants that transform waste into strategic resources.
Headquartered in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, we initially operate in Latin America, but with the vision and structure to meet global demands. Each project is a custom solution, with process engineering, industrial automation and continuous technical support.
