2 | E-Scrap 2015: Refurb on the rise

At this year's E-Scrap conference, refurb experts from around the world will be on hand to discuss the growing industry importance of giving electronics a second life.

While old CRT devices continue to account for the heaviest portion of the stream, volumes of lightweight and younger electronics, including smartphones and tablets, are growing. They're also posing the biggest opportunity yet for companies to maximize profit from repair and resale. E-Scrap 2015 will help your business do just that.

Joining lively conversations surrounding reuse and repair issues, Kyle Wiens, iFixit founder and one of the nation's leading reuse advocates, will demonstrate live device tear-downs. A repair- and reuse-focused session led by Wiens will also take a look at the state of refurb in the U.S. and touch on why the legal fight to restore everyone's right to repair their own devices matters to the industry.

E-Scrap 2015 is taking place Sept. 1-3, 2015 (that's the week before Labor Day) at Omni ChampionsGate in Orlando, Florida. Check in at e-scrapconference.com for all the latest information on exhibiting, sponsoring and attending.
