How Vary Tech Became the "Green Engine" of E-waste Recycling

Driven by the dual forces of global electronification and digitalization, the replacement speed of electronic products is accelerating day by day, and E-waste has become one of the fastest-growing waste categories in the world. According to the 《2024 Global E-waste Monitor Report》 released by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 62 million tons of E-waste were generated globally in 2022, and it is estimated that the annual output of global E-waste will reach 82 million tons by 2030. Faced with this "invisible mountain", Vary Tech, an innovative enterprise from China, is becoming a key engine driving the development of the global E-waste circular economy with its unique core technologies and whole-industry-chain solutions.

 


Core Technologies: From "Filling the Gaps" to "Gaining Global Recognition"

Vary Tech is well aware that efficient disassembling and high-value recycling are the core to addressing the challenges of E-waste. In 2007, Vary Tech initially ventured into the field of E-waste recycling and disassembly. In 2009, it pioneered the combined process of "dual-shaft shredding + vertical crushing" and independently developed the "complete set of equipment for harmless treatment and resource recovery of waste refrigerators", which was applied in industrial operation bases. In 2010, after authoritative appraisal by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, this technology was identified as "filling the domestic gap and reaching the international advanced level". Meanwhile, this technology has successively won many honors such as "China Patent Award" and "National Key New Product", and has nearly 100 patent certificates in the United States, China and other countries.

 What is even more remarkable is that this technology has undergone 7 generations of iterative innovation, which has not only optimized the structure of core crushing equipment, but also improved the comprehensive performance of the complete set of equipment in multiple aspects such as production capacity, efficiency, safety guarantee and dust control. The entire set of equipment can handle not only 170L-220L waste refrigerators, but also large refrigerators and freezers above 500L. The production capacity has increased from the initial 40 units per hour to 200 units per hour, which has greatly improved the recycling efficiency.

Today, this set of technologies and equipment has been serving major domestic industry players such as China Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, China Renewable Resources, Zhongzai Zihuan, China Resources and Environment Group, and Henan Recycling Group, as well as enterprises practicing the recycling target responsibility system among well-known home appliance manufacturers including Haier, TCL, and Robam Appliances. Meanwhile, it has been exported to more than ten countries such as India, Brazil, Spain, Turkey, Malaysia, Mauritius, and Rwanda, delivering over 100 sets of complete E-waste recycling and dismantling equipment to the global market. Cumulatively, it has provided recycling and dismantling services for more than 130 million sets of E-waste worldwide.
 

Innovative Breakthrough: A "Flexible" Solution for Small Appliance Recycling

Driven by multiple factors such as market demand, technological progress, consumption upgrading, and social and economic environment, small household appliances, which feature complex structures and a wide variety of types, have become a new challenge in recycling. How to efficiently separate valuable resources from mixed materials? Vary Tech provided a groundbreaking answer again in 2022.

In 2023, Vary Tech launched the "Flexible Process Combination for Generalized Electrical and Electronic Comprehensive Dismantling Line". This modular combination can "serve multiple purposes with one machine", flexibly handling various wastes such as small household appliances and gas water heaters. It innovatively solves the industry challenges in sorting mixtures of copper and aluminum, aluminum-plastic, and stainless steel. Through refined sorting, it ultimately achieves high-purity recycling of plastics, iron, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. At present, this technology has been upgraded to the 4th generation and was successfully applied to the confidential and sensitive electronic product sector of China Resources and Environment Group in 2025. It features full-process intelligent logistics integration, with an automation level 30% higher than the industry average. Equipped with refined dismantling complete sets of equipment, it realizes the recycling of resources such as ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and plastics for all product categories, with a value increment of 35% compared to the industry. The processing capacity can reach up to 4-5 tons per hour.

Industrial Chain Synergy: Empowering the Development of Global Home Appliance Circular Economy

Vary Tech is not only a technological innovator, but also an operational innovator and a full-industry-chain system service provider, committed to offering efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions for global E-waste management.

Vary Tech Electronics Waste Treatment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Vary Tech, was established in 2009. It is among the second batch of national and the first batch of Hunan provincial enterprises eligible for the waste electrical and electronic products treatment fund. It is also one of the first national pilot enterprises for directional recycling and dismantling in the "old-for-new" home appliance replacement program. As the approved provincial-level electronic waste treatment center in China's central and western regions, Vary Tech's industrial operation base covers an area of 151,333 square meters. Its "Project for Harmless Treatment and Resource Recycling of 2 Million Units/Year of Electrical and Electronic Waste" was recognized as a "2011 National Key Environmental Protection Practical Technology Demonstration Project". Serving as a platform for the coordinated development of electronic waste technology R&D and operation under Vary Tech, it has accumulated a total of 8.3 million units of electronic waste dismantled, achieving a carbon emission reduction of 1.217 million tons.

Relying on its electronic waste recycling and dismantling technology equipment as well as the solid waste big data cloud platform, Vary Tech has built a closed-loop for home appliance recycling, which covers the entire process of "Internet + home appliance recycling - home appliance dismantling - recycling and utilization of waste plastics from home appliances - home appliance production". It has innovatively established a credible traceability system for the home appliance circular economy industry chain, truly realizing the closed-loop cycle from "electronic waste" to "new home appliance products" and promoting the upgrading of the home appliance circular economy industry. This not only reduces the dependence on primary resources, but also provides a sustainable business model for global electronic waste management, driving the global electronic waste recycling towards a more efficient, more environmentally friendly and more economically valuable direction.

Meanwhile, Vary Tech has established a complete industrial system integrating R&D and design, manufacturing, marketing, engineering installation, and after-sales service, providing full-chain system services for global E-waste recycling. The company has a team of over 60 professional technical engineers and an experienced environmental protection engineering service team. Based on specific needs such as project production capacity, types of E-waste, project building area, requirements for the end-use of project products, and the level of automation and intelligence required for the project, it can provide customized E-waste recycling and dismantling system services according to local conditions. These services include diverse system service models such as equipment sales, consulting services, operational cooperation, business cooperation, and international cooperation, offering comprehensive support for global E-waste recycling.

Having been deeply engaged in the field of E-waste resource utilization for nearly 20 years, Vary Tech has always adhered to technological innovation and high-standard system services. It has not only promoted the development of the E-waste recycling industry, but also ignited the green spark of circular economy worldwide, becoming a key force driving the development of the global E-waste circular economy.
