Benefits of Reuse in Recycling Electronics
Reusing electronics prolongs the lifecycle of devices, preventing them from going to landfills and reducing the need for new devices to be manufactured. This approach also aids in the avoidance of mining precious resources and metals, thus supporting environmental protection. Financially, organizations can benefit from reusing old assets by selling them on secondary markets rather than incurring costs associated with recycling.
