Reviewed Electronics Options
Options below have reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and implemented
for facilities. |
|
Standardize Material Types |
Utilize fewer types of plastics and parts to make sorting and subsequent recycling easier and cost effective (reduces manufacturing costs). |
|
Use Recycled Content Materials |
Develop a way to integrate recycled content materials into products as opposed to relying on virgin materials or purchase recycled content materials from other vendors for use in products. |
|
Use refurbished/reconditioned parts |
Implement a reuse system to accept used systems. Some materials can be separated and reused. Materials can be separated more easily if material types have been standardized. |
|
Remanufacture products |
Disassemble and remanufacture products to reduce production costs and waste.
|
|
Make sorting secondary materials easier |
Label materials (like plastic resins) with moldings to make sorting and reclaiming secondary materials easier at the time of disassembly. |
