Once collected by a service provider authorized by the state government, the waste is transported to specialized collection centers, where it is sorted by category and its various material components are separated. Then, each fraction is channeled to specific recovery processes. For example, plastic materials are sent to local recyclers to be used as raw material in the manufacture of new products, such as toys and pallets. Meanwhile, metals like copper and aluminum are sent to domestic smelters for the production of electrical wiring, copper piping, and aluminum sheets or rolls, among other products.

Finally, electronic components such as circuit boards and power supplies are sent to specialized companies abroad, where precious metals and other valuable materials are recovered and reintroduced into production cycles for the manufacture of various goods, including mobile devices, automotive components, fans, and everyday items.
