About VISTA electronic
VISTA electronic GmbH is a medium-sized family business that has been active in electronics recycling since 1991. The company offers electronics recycling, data carrier destruction as well as consulting and disposal concepts, and is a certified waste management specialist (Entsorgungsfachbetrieb) and certified first treatment facility under the ElektroG (German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act). Hard drives are mechanically shredded directly on the vehicles with a mobile high-performance shredder into the smallest particles with a maximum size of 2000 mm² (10% tolerance up to 3800 mm²); a mobile hard drive shredder achieves particle sizes of max. 30 mm² and requires no power connection. Where a high-voltage power connection is available, destruction can be carried out with low noise and low exhaust emissions, for example near office buildings or in hospital areas. For every tonne of electronic scrap recycled, the company plants a tree in cooperation with the Baumpaten Thüringen (Tree Sponsors of Thuringia); more than 10,753 trees have been planted so far. The main area of activity is the Sonneberg district region in Thuringia.
