- theandrewbailey 1y agoI work at an ewaste recycling company. I expect we'll see some high end Nvidia Tesla GPUs coming through, just like the Ant Miners (Bitcoin ASICs) a few weeks ago.
- uncircle 1y agoGood place as any to ask: can you give a rough percentage of how much material can be recycled from high-end electronics like GPUs? 5%? 20%? Is it mostly rarer and more expensive materials like gold/lithium, or is it mainly bulk plastic and aluminium?
- theandrewbailey 1y agoNo idea, aside from the steel chassis and copper/aluminum heatsinks. My company collects devices, sorts and disassembles them, and sells the scrap. Since we collect a lot of stuff that still works (like decommissioned corporate IT equipment), I work in the refurb division[0], so I don't have much insight into how much material can get broken down and recycled.
