Every year, an estimated 400 million units of obsolete electronics are scrapped. Most of these end up illegally in landfills, in the U.S. or abroad, not adhering to EPA laws. By 2012, three billion units will be in need of responsible recycling. We focus on identifying equipment that has expired contemporary use and take the necessary steps to disassemble the materials for reuse in their raw form.
