Re-use it!
The good news: scrap doesn’t necessarily belong
to the scrap heap.
What
we consider flawed or obsolete can often be put to good
use in less developed countries. So why not find ways
and means of meeting the great demand for quality used
products in developing nations?
After years of experience with projects in Asia and
Africa we know: a well organised reuse system has consequences
for local social situations. Distribution and repair
create employment, skills assure job security, the repaired
appliances improve quality of life.
Scrap Foundation develops concepts for the efficient
reuse of electrical appliances, improves circumstances
for employment and training in a sustainable way, and
takes responsibility for the environment.
