Urban mining, asset & cable recovery

We provide fully-managed network asset recovery services designed to help businesses recover value from their surplus network assets. Our turnkey solutions cover everything from de-installation to resale, ensuring maximum financial and environmental benefits.

The circular economy in action

TXO follows a zero-to-landfill policy, ensuring that every asset is either repurposed, resold, or responsibly recycled. We maximise material recovery through expert refurbishment and certified recycling processes, helping businesses reduce waste, lower costs, and support a more sustainable technology industry.

Fully-managed asset recovery

How it works

Our expert team manages every aspect of asset recovery, including:

  • De-installation & transportation – Safe removal and logistics.
  • Inventory cataloguing – Tracking by OEM part number, serial number, and hardware release.
  • Refurbishment & data sanitisation – Ensuring equipment is resale-ready.
  • Testing & repair – Extending asset lifespan.
  • Resale & remarketing – Maximising revenue through direct sales channels.
  • Storage & recycling – Secure warehousing and WEEE-compliant disposal.
  • i-TRAC portal – Real-time inventory and sales tracking.

Why asset recovery matters

  • Sustainability – Supports the circular economy, reducing electronic waste.
  • Revenue generation – Fair market valuations and resale opportunities.
  • Cost reduction – Reduce CAPEX and OPEX by eliminating warehousing costs.
  • Environmental benefits – Decrease carbon footprint by reusing critical components.

Power, copper & cable recycling

Reduce e-waste, increase revenue

Network cables contribute significantly to e-waste. Instead of letting them end up in landfill, TXO helps businesses recover materials like copper and precious metals through responsible recycling.

Our process

Benefits

  • Rapid investment recovery – Immediate value extraction.
  • Detailed breakdown by weight – Full visibility of material composition.
  • Legacy equipment recovery – Additional asset retrieval alongside cables.
  • Sustainability impact – Reduced reliance on mining for precious metals.

Printed circuit board (PCB) recycling & recovery

Unlock the value in scrap PCBs

Printed circuit boards contain high-value materials such as gold, silver, and palladium. Instead of discarding outdated PCBs, TXO’s advanced recycling solutions maximise their financial return while reducing environmental impact.

Why recycle PCBs?

  • High precious metal content – Up to 800x more gold than mined ore.
  • Environmental responsibility – Reduces e-waste and demand for new raw materials.
  • Regulatory compliance – Processed in an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF)

Precious metal recovery & urban mining

Sustainable extraction of valuable materials

Urban mining—the process of reclaiming metals from electronic waste—plays a crucial role in reducing reliance on primary mining. At TXO, we specialise in responsibly recovering metals like gold, silver, and copper from network equipment.

Key advantages

  • Resource efficiency – Extracting valuable metals from e-waste supports a circular economy.
  • Economic gains – Generate revenue from redundant assets.
  • Environmental benefits – Reduce CO2 emissions linked to mining.
  • Traceability & compliance – Full transparency and reporting.

Gold recovery & recycling

Convert waste into a lucrative revenue stream

Gold is a key component in network equipment due to its superior conductivity. TXO’s specialised gold recovery process ensures that companies capitalise on this valuable resource rather than letting it go to waste.

Where is gold found in telecom, rail, and industrial equipment?

  • Printed circuit boards – High-yield gold content.
  • Integrated circuits & processors – Extractable gold components.
  • Gold-plated connectors – Refinable and reusable materials.
  • Edge connectors & substrates – Recoverable through chemical refining.
