REMANUFACTURING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY 

   Never before in history has corporate competitive advantage depended less on machinery and raw materials, and more on intellectual capital. The revolution is not simply about the accelerated pace of business, nor is it just about increasing the quality of products and services at cost-competitive prices-it's about creating and integrated strategy that requires every corporate asset to produce value.
   The new business model of today integrates environmental responsibility with environmental opportunity to produce this value.  Within this model, recycling and remanufacturing are applied as strategies for investment recovery, rather than waste-disposal management.
   Remanufacturing creates multiple lives for everything from machinery to consumer products, and it can save companies 30 to 70 percent over original costs.  In addition, remanufacturing typically uses only about one-fifth of the energy required for first-time manufacturing.
    What exactly is a remanufactured product?  It is any product that has completed its "first" life after being manufactured, sold and used.  It involves disassembly, cleaning, repair and replacement, the reassembly to a sound working condition.  Most remanufactured parts are covered by full warranties. 
    Last year alone, remanufacturing generated over $53 billion in revenues, making it one of the largest industry sectors in America-providing more value than the consumer durables category.  Besides providing jobs to local economies, remanufacturing contributes millions back to corporate bottom lines.

OFFICE FURNITURE RECYCLING:  A HISTORY OF
 HELPING THE ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

There are two
ways to take
advantage of
buying recycled
office furniture.
Consumers can
either supply
their own worn
furniture for
refurbishing (a
closed loop
system) or
purchase reman-
ufactured
products they did
not originally
own (an open
loop system).

The recycling and remanufacturing industry began during the Depression as a way of reducing production costs, especially in the automotive industry.  The World War II effort expanded the recycling industry as many natural resources were used to support the military.  After World War II, the recycling and remanufacturing industry continued to prosper having proven that recycled products provide a reliable, economical alternative to new products.

During the 1980s, the office furniture remanufacturing industry emerged, growing from a handful of pioneers to several hundred companies across the United States.  Today's furniture recyclers offer sophisticated manufacturing and distribution capabilities and contribute more than 1.2 billion of the $13.6 billion commercial furniture industry

      Cell Phones are everywhere these days. Including landfills. A vast array
of technological improvements and competition among carriers has caused many consumers to upgrade their phones. Unfortunately, This has left users with the quandary of what to do with their old phones.
