Alpha Assembly Solutions, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering and bonding materials, is participating in the upcoming ITRI International Tin Conference in Lima, Peru from April 25–28, as a technical presenter.
A presentation on Tin Recycling will be presented during Session 2, The Responsible Tin Supply Chain. Presented by Steef Nuijens, the presentation will discuss types of tin scrap and highlight the differences between the hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recycling processes. The future of tin recycling will also be covered and elaborate on how OEMs and recyclers can work together to maximize recoverable tin.
“OEMs and customers alike all face the same challenge of having to responsibly dispose of their solder dross and waste”, said Steef Nuijens, Global Director of Metals for Alpha Assembly Solutions. “There are some good options available that can help minimize your environmental liability while maximizing your financial return for reclamation efforts.”
