Benefits of reusing EEE

Reusing EEE extends the life of equipment, which reduces raw material use and energy consumption.

Reuse is also a business sector in its own right with professional remarketing, refurbishing and repair companies providing a service to large original equipment manufacturers. Reused equipment is more affordable and extends the market for electronic and electrical equipment.

Reused equipment is often taken to a new market which may not usually be able to afford that equipment, either in New Zealand (for example, to low-income families, charities and schools) or overseas, such as to developing nations.
