Disposition Services can provide assistance with e-Waste and Electronics Recycling through our network of affiliates committed to environmentally-sound recycling services. In some cases we are able to pay for the following types of “Electronic Scrap”:
- Silicon Wafers in any condition (raw, broken, etc.)
- IC’s, Chips and Electronic Components
- Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
Reselling used factory equipment might not seem like a way to save the planet. However, every item Disposition Services resells actually helps lessen the impact we have on the environment.
Simply put, every item reused is an item recycled. There’s a lot of value in getting as much overall use out of an asset as possible. Here are a few reasons why reselling excess machinery benefits the planet:
- Fewer Construction Resources Used
For every item reused, manufacturers don’t need to spend the time and resources to build another. Think of what goes into every piece of equipment you use:
- Raw materials (plastics, metal, circuitry, chemicals, etc.)
- Build time
- Shipping and Distribution
- Energy (and its related pollution)
- Less Stress on the Environment
Even with recycling standards, disposal of manufacturing equipment impacts the environment. Chemicals used in the equipment's construction seep out and shaped materials are often unable to biodegrade. The longer we can get value from our assets, the less of an impact it will have on the environment.
- Reduced Landfill Footprints and Helping the Economy Grow
By recycling equipment and materials we greatly reduce the amount of landfill space necessary and provide a cost effective means for schools, universities or companies with limited budgets such as start-ups access to usable equipment they might not otherwise afford.
