The Source for Sustainable Renewed Chips

IC Recovery improves electronics manufacturing by providing a reliable and sustainable supply of renewed integrated circuits. Chips are gently removed from boards en masse via our patented process without cutting or pulling.

Turnkey Recovery

IC Recovery extends the life of valuable chips in end-of-life electronics. Since almost all chip failures occur within the first 18 months of use, and we only recover working and retestable chips, our patented process delivers renewed chips for use in high reliability applications.

With IC Recovery You Can:

Shorten lead times for critical components

Lead times for new chips are typically 6-12 months. IC- Recovery can supply renewed chips from obsolete equipment in 4 – 6 weeks depending upon test requirements.

Secure a source of chips for field service repairs and equipment refurbishment

Chips last multiple times longer than their original equipment. Typical equipment refresh cycles are 3-5 years, while a chip can last 15–20 years.

Achieve sustainability goals for you and your customers

Renewed chips have a 97% smaller CO2 footprint than newly manufactured chips.

Reduce dependence on foreign chip fabs

Increasingly, regulations and government standards require that certain electronic components are sourced in the United States or from approved trading countries.

Achieve recycled content goals

OEMs can enhance the EPEAT* Certification ranking of products by increasing recycled content. Product passports, coming to Europe and elsewhere, require evidence of recycled content in products

Create a new revenue stream or expand your revenue base to increase profitability

ITADs and recyclers can offer chip recovery and renewal to OEMs and and other customers or sell renewed chips in aftermarkets.

Reduce Chip Emissions by 97%

The estimated greenhouse gas footprint of a chip recovered using our Chip-Renew™ process is 97% lower than that of new chip production.
