The following is a list of activities of pathway players. Again, it is not uncommon for a player to be involved in more than one activity, such as a not-for-profit that focuses on reuse, but has to disassemble and scrap certain items that are not reusable.
Reuse – redistributing equipment essentially “as-is” to a new user. This is typically associated with not-for-profits who provide reusable electronics to targeted populations.
Disassembly – disassembly or demanufacture for the purpose of individual parts reuse or resale. This activity also occurs in the process of scrap materials recovery.
Resale – refurbishing and remarketing of still usable electronics for profit, or to support a NFP involved in resale
Scrap – utilizing e.Scrap for base materials sales only, such as the recovery of gold or silver for metals recycling.
Waste Disposal – some materials are, by default or by design, sent to landfills or incinerators.
