Reuse Options – Handling End-of-Life Goods
More things to do
You’re looking at this page because you’ve got something that has broken down or you don’t want it any more, but you feel like it’s still got some value somewhere.
You’ve got a number of options depending on whether:
- You’re a corporate purchaser, or a consumer.
- How inherently valuable it is (to you or others).
- How many of the item you’ve got.
- It’s an electrical good.
- There are better, more efficient products on the market.
- You’ve got time on your hands to fiddle around!
Corporate customers can most easily return their end-of-life products into an established reuse and remanufacturing system. In this case it’s a question of finding reputable operators who can handle your goods. Go to our Corporate section for more help. N.B. You can also be In Smart Company by BUYING remanufactured goods to maximise your economic and environmental benefits.
If you’re a consumer, you’ve probably only got one of an item to deal with. Your options are simpler: repair, donate, resell or dispose for recycling. Go to our Consumers section for more help. N.B. Learn how to be a Savvy Buyer.
