Sphere is a trusted connector in the global PCB trading ecosystem. We link local collectors, traders, and refiners by facilitating transparent transactions, managing logistics, and ensuring compliance. Our role is to simplify complex cross-border trade, enabling valuable materials to move smoothly through the circular economy.
Sphere began with local PCB collection and processing. Over time, we expanded our role — from handling copper recovery on the ground to coordinating full trade flows between suppliers and end refiners. Today, we manage the entire ecosystem, making sure every board finds its place in the value chain.
Sphere is led by a highly complementary team of founders with deep expertise spanning renewable energy, finance, government relations, and e-waste processing. Together they bring the vision, experience, and networks required to build a leading e-waste impact and recovery business
