Recycling at Rienu
Cradle-to-grave—and back again. We don't just "take it away." We recover, renew, and redeploy value across electronics, batteries, and metals—then close the loop with certified recycling and clear reports.
The Full-Circle Flow
01
Intake & Chain-of-Custody
Scheduled pickup or drop-off. Items are serialized, photographed, and tracked from door to downstream.
02
Triage & Testing
Servers & IT: wipe → bench test → grade → refurb or parts harvest
Batteries/Modules: IR & capacity test → safety checks → pack engineering suitability
Other e-waste: functional test → reuse route; non-functional → parts harvest or recycle
Second-Life First
Refurbish & Renew
restore servers, networking, laptops, AV, and industrial electronics
Battery Second-Life
qualify modules for stationary storage; integrate into new packs
Component Harvest
fans, PSUs, boards, heat sinks—everything with residual life is reused
Product Creation & Resale
New Products
second-life BESS packs, microgrid skids, edge-compute kits
Secondary Market
remarket renewed servers & gear to SMBs, MSPs, education, labs
Direct to Enterprise
buy-back & take-back programs with SLAs and upgrade paths
Certified Recycling (When Needed)
Audited U.S. refiners + Panama partner for specific streams. You get Certificates of Data Destruction (COD), Certificates of Recycling (COR), manifests, weights/grades, and yield settlement.
Deployment to Power & Compute
Power: second-life BESS integrated into microgrids (Model A: Solar+Battery; Model B: Solar+Battery+Genset)
Compute: renewed servers into edge sites or back to enterprise—extending life, cutting capex
What We Handle
E-waste
servers, storage, networking, laptops, phones, AV, industrial controls
Energy
EV/ESS modules, inverters, balance-of-system, cabling
Metals
copper, aluminum, steel, precious metal PCB streams
Two Flagship Second-Life Tracks
A) Batteries → Power (BESS & Microgrids)
- Module testing → safe pack assembly → BMS integration
- Skid/containerized systems from tens of kWh to multi-MWh
- Use cases: clinics, community centers, events, ag, construction, EV charging, recycling hubs
CTA: [Price my site] • [See Model A/B]
B) Servers → Compute (Edge & Enterprise)
- NIST-aligned wipes + COD issued
- Refurb with thermals/firmware/QA; graded resale or redeploy to Rienu edge projects
- Trade-in & upgrade programs; predictable refresh without rip-and-replace

Compliance, Safety & Proof
- Chain-of-custody from intake to final disposition
- Data handling: verified wipes or physical destruction; documented serials
- Battery safety: proper storage/transport; hazmat paperwork; downstream audit trail
- Reporting: manifests, diversion %, CO₂e avoided, resale recovery, yield summaries
Why It Pays
30-60%
Lower capex
Re-use first = lower capex vs. new on typical IT refresh
25-50%
Ops savings
Hybrid microgrids cut diesel burn and volatility vs. gen-only
90%+
Diversion achievable
Measured impact for ESG/CSR on eligible streams
(Replace with your real metrics when ready.)
Program Models
Sovereign Nations
energy sovereignty + local refurb/O&M jobs; revenue-share options
Enterprise
multi-site take-back, centralized monitoring, SLAs, co-branding for circular wins
Buy-Back & Take-Back
predictable valuations; swap older gear into second-life channels
Bottom Line
Rienu is a recycling program that funds itself—by turning waste into inventory, inventory into deployments, and deployments into measurable savings and impact.
That's cradle-to-grave—and back again.
