sitting in distribution or return centres that even OEMs have lost track of . We do asset audit , inspection , testing , sorting , re-marketing liquidation if suitable ; it is a full spectrum of capabilities we are now offering .
“ Remanufactured parts can either go back into the OEMs original forward logistics supply chain , a closed loop super green rebirth if you like , so it can be used again in a new product . Or it can be sold or remarketed in another sector .
“ At the end of the day there will always be something that you cannot reuse , and in that scenario we perform traditional raw material recycling . When it comes to plastics , in order to make the gadgets lighter , stronger , water resistant and so on , the plastics that go into mobiles are not generic , they are very high-end and sophisticated consisting of glass fibre type materials .”
This kind of high-end plastic cannot be decomposed and broken down by a municipal local recycler , only a few large petrochemical companies in the world are supplying these plastics to the OEMs and only they know the composition of it and how it can be broken down . The traditional way of recycling plastics is very outdated
