“Call Centers should be able to refer and schedule service providers and collectors.”
Application integration for Customer Service Call
Centers empowers manufacturers and support
personnel to direct consumers to collectors, and coordinate
efficient routes for recyclers to pick-up scrap.

“We need an online marketplace for Asset Recovery, part and material sales”
A new marketplace connects Asset Recovery
of retired products, Recycled Components, and an auction site for
reclaimed raw materials.

As sources for recycled materials create greater

than mining natural resources.
“We need to make it easy to manage export and sales of materials”

What we need. . .• “We need an easy way to locate, procure, and import low cost materials”• “We need a cross-reference parts database with RoHS and WEEE classifications” • “Logistics, distribution, and retail need to be involved”• “We need to help consumers recycle.”• “We need to make it easy for collectors.”• “Call Centers should be able to refer and schedule service providers and collectors.”• “Service providers should be able to become collectors and link with recyclers”• “We need an online marketplace for Asset Recovery, part and material sales”• “We need to make it easy to manage export and sales of materials”In addition• “We need easy government reporting for manufacturers, recyclers, and collectors”• “We need to empower each participant with access to data and interaction”• “We need to enable the constituents with legacy systems, or no systems at all”• “We need to evolve standards that allow regional regulations and compliance”
13
CollectorsRapidly growing business segment has no
standard applications, or electronic file format• Collectors collect retired products and coordinate
pick-up or delivery with recyclers.• Collectors hold collection events, or pick-up and
deliver to recyclers. This is the ‘middle man’• There are a growing number of part-time collectors
consisting of students, retired persons, entrepreneurs, and temporarily out of work persons
• There are diverse laws and regulations changing rapidly, so standards and communication are critical
14
RecyclersRecyclers collect, sort, and manage materials.
Communication, connectivity, & control needed• May or may not include refurbishing or downstream
materials reclamation. • Most recyclers currently do not collect brand related
information, although manufacturers are being held accountable by popular government regulations
• Most applications are “home grown” in-house systems, not standardized solutions
• Existing software to manage inventory by model does not support transition to inventory by weight
15
Asset RecoveryGrowing marketplace for auctions and sales
requires communication and export controls • It is a global community for buying and selling• Retired computers in one region may have
tremendous value in another region• Fluctuations in currency are drastically changing
perceptions of a ‘good deal’• Fluctuations in fuel prices are
also changing perceptions on what is considered a ‘good deal’
• Material is a form of recovery
16
Material ReuseThere is a quietly growing market for material
reclaimed from retired products• Supply for materials from natural resources is
gradually diminishing, increasing cost and environmental impact. Demand for new electronic product and goods also continues to rise.
• Supply of retired electronics increases at almost the same rate as demand, since new product typically replaces old. Old product is the new renewable resource for materials – but we need to connect partners.
17
ConsumersConsumers want to behave in an environmentally
considerate manner, but it must be easy• Consumers are not familiar with the regulations• Consumers are being educated about the
importance of electronic and electrical waste, but participating in recycling can be confusing or inconvenient
• Manufacturers, call centers, and retailers are working to develop solutions, but there are no national networks of recyclers to refer
• Education, referrals, and simple solutions needed
18
ManufacturersManufacturers typically receive the greatest
burden to recycle the products they produce• There are many established routines and partners
for managing product returns, but very limited routines and no standards for recycling solutions
• Reverse Logistics continues beyond the return of the product, so it is necessary to establish the complete end-of-life reverse logistics plan that includes refurbishment, parts, and materials
• Like return centers and service providers, recyclers need an established and standardized network
19
GovernmentGovernments are creating new laws, but may not
have the infrastructure to support them• Often, recyclers or manufacturers are required to
report to the government with PAPER forms• Although legislation is increasing, it is also
increasingly difficult to enforce due to paperwork• Material theft is on the rise. Investigation and
control requires real time accurate data• The global demand for refurbished goods
and reclaimed materials requires exportcontrols and visibility
20
ProductionManufacturing and production needs low cost
material resources, finding them is a challenge• We need to cross-reference common parts and
identify RoHS / WEEE classification to empower greater utilization of parts and reclamation of materials
• We need to connect material buyers to material sellers, and coordinate withlogistics partners to manage the processefficiently to reduce the burden of freight

The result. . .• An easy way to locate, procure, and import low cost materials• Cross-reference parts database with RoHS and WEEE classification • Logistics, distribution, and retail are involved and share benefit• Help consumers recycle with education, events, locations, and points of contact• Easy for collectors (full business or part-time collectors)• Call Centers refer and schedule service providers and collectors• Service providers can become collectors and link with recyclers• A common online marketplace for Asset Recovery, part and material sales• Manage export controls and tracking for sale of materialIn addition• Electronic government reporting for manufacturers, recyclers, and collectors• Each participant empowered with access to data and interaction• Constituents can connect with legacy systems, or use ZSL application• Evolving standards allow flexibility for regional regulations and compliance
