Export Global Metals Inc. (d.b.a. EG Metals Inc) is investing four million dollars in a state-of-the-art electronics end-of-life shredding and processing system becoming the first and only electronics processor in Oregon to have this capability. 

As a R2/RIOS Certified Electronics RecyclerTM EG Metals Inc. will be able to provide secured chain of custody transport, full video documented destruction, and sorting of all computer electronics, specifically hard drives and circuit boards, into source metal commodities (copper, aluminum, tin, plastics, etc.).
