To tackle the growing e-waste problem, Molg enables circular manufacturing with robotics and design. Our robotic microfactories autonomously disassemble complex electronic products, and we work with manufacturers to design electronics for reuse — ensuring one product’s end is another’s new beginning.
Each year, tens of millions of tons of electronics are discarded, with only 22% recycled. This leaves over $62 billion in critical minerals and precious metals stranded in landfills, missing the opportunity for reuse. As these materials grow increasingly scarce, expensive, and geopolitically sensitive, more solutions are needed to ensure they are kept in circulation. Molg’s technology is designed to enable cost-effective recovery of components and materials—reducing waste, boosting supply chain resilience, and ensuring that valuable resources are recovered for future use.
Molg’s robotic microfactories autonomously disassemble complex devices like laptops and servers, recovering valuable components for reuse, remanufacturing, or recycling. Unlike destructive disassembly processes, Molg’s high-precision technology is designed to maximize the potential for reuse. The microfactories enable high-value recovery for a wide variety of devices across brands and product categories, enabling circular electronics at scale.
Molg works with manufacturers to design electronics that are optimized for circularity from the outset. Using our proprietary software, we generate and place computable, bi-directional assembly methods into products. Think fewer screws and adhesives, and more clever—but not too clever—snaps, press-fits, latches, and other modular connections. Molg’s circular manufacturing technology makes it possible to transform your existing product line or develop your next generation of devices into circular products designed with their entire lifecycle in mind. Our approach reduces environmental impact and enables scalable circular manufacturing, creating cost-effective, scalable products that support sustainable business models and minimize waste.
A circular economy requires traceability and transparency throughout supply chains and across product lifecycles. OriginMark™ is an open standard for device, component, and material traceability, enabling detailed tracking from manufacturing to de-manufacturing. Capable of capturing the lowest level details of components, OriginMark™ records the relationships between them and establishes scalable assembly hierarchies. This system allows you to compute valuable data—such as total materials, processes, or embodied carbon—at any scale, whether for a single product, a building, or a global portfolio of assets. With OriginMark™, you can analyze component data, calculate embodied carbon, and trace lifecycle processes across multiple phases.
Whether you’re a manufacturer, recycler, or sustainability leader, we invite you to partner with us in developing circular solutions that keep valuable materials in circulation and minimize waste. Together, we can build a more sustainable and resilient future through circular manufacturing.
