As the only professional factory in Fuqing city, East China's Fujian province that helps to recycle old electronics, Yuanhong Investment Zone Recycling Factory tears down more than 70,000 electronics every month.

When the old electronics are brought to the factory, workers will tear them into parts, pick out the useful ones that could still be used and classify the rest into several categories for recycling.

Some of the parts they have picked out can be used again, like copper or iron sheets, while others could be provided to the companies which will process them for useful materials.

The workers generally tear apart one electronic gadget every three to five minutes, according to the factory's person in charge.
