TERRA (The Electronics Reuse & Recycling Alliance), the worldâs largest network of certified electronics reuse and recycling providers, announces that COM2 Recycling Solutions has joined its global network as a Certified Member.
The addition of COM2 expands TERRAâs capabilities in advanced material recoveryâparticularly in three rapidly growing and underserved waste streams: solar panels, plastics, and Styrofoam. The partnership reinforces TERRAâs mission to deliver scalable, responsible solutions for complex end-of-life materials while advancing the circular economy.
COM2 brings specialized expertise in solar panel recycling, enabling the safe recovery of valuable materials from photovoltaic systems. As solar adoption accelerates across the United States, demand for responsible end-of-life solutions is rising rapidlyâpositioning COM2 and TERRA at the forefront of this emerging sustainability need.
In addition, COM2 provides advanced plastics processing capabilities that support the recovery and reuse of a wide range of materials. The company also offers innovative solutions for Styrofoam and plastic packagingâmaterials that have historically been difficult to recycle and are often sent to landfills.
âE-waste is the fastest growing and most complex waste stream in the world, and the definition of electronics recycling continues to evolve,â said Steven Napoli, President and CEO of TERRA. âCOM2 Recycling represents the type of forward-thinking partner our network needs to address emerging waste streams at scale.â
As a TERRA Certified Member, COM2 Recycling meets rigorous environmental, operational, and compliance standards, including leading certifications such as R2v3 and/or e-Stewards. These requirements ensure responsible downstream management, data security, and continuous accountability.
âWe are proud to join TERRA and collaborate with a global network committed to responsible recycling and reuse,â said Saheem Baloch, VP at COM2. âTogether, we can expand access to sustainable solutions for materials that have historically lacked viable recovery pathways.â
With global e-waste projected to exceed 74 million metric tons annually by 2030âand adjacent waste streams such as solar panels and plastics growing rapidlyâorganizations face increasing pressure to adopt certified, responsible solutions. Through partnerships like COM2 Recycling, TERRA continues to connect businesses, municipalities, and institutions with trusted providers that reduce risk, strengthen ESG performance, and unlock circular value.
âTERRA is building the infrastructure for the next generation of circular economy solutions,â Napoli added.
