Making the right choice now makes all the difference tomorrow.
Our goal is to first maximize the life of the products we sell and service through our maintenance programs. This means using a product for a full life-cycle before retiring it. Or, if an upgrade is needed, ensuring the product has been maintained to allow for repurposing until it reaches end of useful life.
Second, we will refurbish the majority of products and deploy them into the market for several more years of productive use.
Lastly, every product is completely recycled.
