U.S. Dept. of Defense Makes Demanufacturing Policy

U.S. DoD is the first government agency to make it policy to demanufacture its used electronic equipment into component metal, plastic and other reusable/recyclable parts. The decision will save on hazardous waste landfill costs, as well as contribute to the recycling economy.

According to its contract, the DoD must deliver between 5-15 million pounds per year of electronic scrap. The Departments of Education, Health and Human Services and NASA may follow suit.
