Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials has invested heavily in an appropriate integrated packaging and transport system for solder reclaim….

Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials recycles millions of pounds of tin/lead bearing materials each year.

As the largest solder reclaim operation in the world, Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials ensures that solder scrap is processed in the most efficient way possible which maximizes the return to the customer. We are the only solder manufacturer in the United States that has a complete recycling facility on site.

Lead-free

Lead-free solders have not only created technological challenges but have increased the cost of materials for assembly companies. A way to offset this cost is with the reclamation of your lead-free solder dross. Cookson Electronics is able to recycle the numerous lead-free alloys being used by companies today. With our refining capabilities we are able to help customers maximize the value of their materials. We provide green buckets to help customers keep their lead-free dross segregated so they can maximize its value.

Solder Paste Recycling

Solder paste is a combination of flux and solder powder and as such requires special reprocessing methods. Unused solder paste should be segregated in a separate container for recycling. Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials is a major global manufacturer of solder paste, and has all of the expertise required for its safe processing. These skills are not necessarily available from companies who do not manufacture solder paste.

Upon request, we also supply a certificate of recycling which is your proof the material was recycled.
