Industry Overview

• Insufficient information on recycling and reuse
  industries.
• Difficulty in specification and evaluation of new
  business opportunities
• Recycling industries due to consumer or
  regulatory pressure.
• No benefit from favorable economics at first.
• General challenges
• An overall reduction in the cost of recycling (in
  particular, hand separation of components).
• Shipment of large number of the obsolete and
  environmentally dangerous parts.
• Lack of of organized collection and of design of
  recycling, and poor marketability.

6
Current Recycling

• Processes
• Labor intensive
• Can be more expensive than the revenue from the
  retrieved material.
• Computers and parts
• Donated or sold for low fee to public, low-income
  people and schools.
• For unusable monitors there is recycling charge
  of 10-50.
• Precious and base metals are extracted
• Remaining components can be shredded and sampled
  for value and sent to a smelter for final
  refining.

7
Sales Strategy

• Service to the communities
• Low-cost convenient recycling.
• Low-cost refurbished computer sales.
• Convenient computer repair (for any type of PC).
• Various community out-reach programs
• Education of the public
