|
The generator often perceives remaining value in
the item. |
|
Technology that is slightly out-of-date when it
is retired is very out of date by the time another management option is
sought. |
|
It can be costly to clear out multiple items at
once |
|
It also can be more attractive to a broker/
recycler to acquire a larger versus a smaller quantity of scrap. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s)
have developed programs to take back their products at the end-of-life. |
|
There is typically a fee paid by the generator |
|
When returned, the items are then recycled. |
|
Take back programs mean shared responsibility
for end-of-life management |
