The second-Hand Market

The second-Hand Market

In developing countries, refurbished computers from the second-hand market provide opportunities for people who cannot afford to buy new equipment. Growing demand for refurbished equipment in these countries is matched by the need for spare parts for maintenance and computer repair. Recycling businesses can provide repaired and refurbished computers to this rapidly growing market at affordable prices.

The growth in the price of raw material

A local recycling business may also profit from the sale of components and recovered materials to facilities equipped to provide environmentally sound recycling. The rise of raw material prices has made recycling used computer components an economically viable enterprise for environmentally sound facilities,creating a market for properly disassembled components and scrap parts. This can be a profitable alternative for entrepreneurs, while preventing harmful practices such as dumping, open burning and incineration.
