Traditional Recycling vs ZYNCORE RVM + VTSCC

1. Safety

• Traditional:
  Open handling of sharp metals, glass, and toxic dust. High risk of fires from Li-ion batteries.

• ZYNCORE:
  Fully enclosed system with battery isolation and secure destruction, eliminating direct human contact.

2. Material Separation

• Traditional:
  Low purity. Ferrous, non-ferrous, plastics, and glass are often mixed or contaminated.

• ZYNCORE:
  The Vertical Triple-Stage Concentration Cascade produces high-purity material streams.

3. Recovery Efficiency

• Traditional:
  40–60% recovery and low precious-metal extraction.

• ZYNCORE:
  High-yield recovery of ferrous, non-ferrous, polymers, glass, and precious-metal-rich fractions.

4. Data Security

• Traditional:
  Hard drives and SSDs often remain intact or only partially destroyed.

• ZYNCORE:
  Dedicated fragmentation of storage media to sub-threshold particle sizes for full data destruction.

5. Battery Handling

• Traditional:
  Batteries are often shredded by mistake, causing fires, explosions, and contamination.

• ZYNCORE:
  AI-based detection and automatic diversion of lithium-ion batteries before destruction.

6. Environmental Impact

• Traditional:
  Toxic dust, emissions, and contaminated waste streams.

• ZYNCORE:
  Enclosed filtration and a controlled environment prevent the release of toxins.

7. Labor Dependency

• Traditional:
  Requires large teams for sorting, dismantling, and processing.

• ZYNCORE:
  Automated intake, shredding, and separation reduce manual labor.

8. Logistics

• Traditional:
  Centralized facilities with expensive pickup, transport, and storage.

• ZYNCORE:
  On-site processing reduces transport and handling costs.

9. Scalability

• Traditional:
  Large, fixed plants that are difficult to deploy in new locations.

• ZYNCORE:
  Compact RVM footprint deployable in offices, campuses, and retail locations.

10. User Experience

• Traditional:
  Complex drop-off systems with low participation.

• ZYNCORE:
  Instant, simple, app-connected RVM with optional rewards or credit integration.

11. Regulatory Compliance

• Traditional:
  Often misses OSHA, EPA, R2, and ISO guidelines.

• ZYNCORE:
  Designed for controlled, compliant material handling and reporting.
