General Company Questions
What is electronics remanufacturing?
Electronics remanufacturing is a complex rebuilding process that extends the life of electronic components from a variety of different industries. During the remanufacturing process, units are completely disassembled and cleaned to determine which components are reusable and which need to be replaced. Electronic remanufacturing also includes upgrading software and firmware as well as making modifications on the electronic circuitry and cosmetic parts.
The electronics remanufacturing process produces parts that are as good or better than the original component, reduces our carbon footprint and saves money. Because these rebuilt parts are virtually indistinguishable from new parts, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires remanufacturers to label these components as "rebuilt or “renewed."
