A single drone contains a surprising array of valuable materials. Brushless motors yield copper windings and rare earth magnets (neodymium, dysprosium). Circuit boards contain gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. Airframes contribute aluminum, carbon fiber, and engineering plastics. REFPV's material recovery process in Birmingham achieves a 95%+ recovery rate.
From commercial real estate firms to agricultural operations, Birmingham's businesses rely heavily on drone technology. When commercial fleets reach end-of-life — typically after 2-3 years of heavy use — REFPV provides Birmingham with volume pricing, scheduled fleet pickups, and dedicated account management for seamless recycling transitions.
The batteries inside drones are among the most hazardous components to dispose of. REFPV serves Birmingham with specialized lithium battery recycling — including safe discharge, cell separation, and hydrometallurgical recovery of critical minerals.
