Abstract: | The volume tendency of in-use and end-of-life computers in China were analyzed; the emerging danger of obsolete computers
by incorrect treatment was summarized; the integration disposal technologies based on 3R (recycle, remanufacture and reuse)
engineering aiming at monitors, electronic devices, metals, plastics materials, and overall computers were put forward; the
economic and social benefits were also analyzed. The results show that the integration disposal process of obsolete computer
is an optimum approach to save the resource of electromechanical products. Remanufacturing and disposal 100 thousand obsolete
computers per year can create profits about RMB10 million yuan and provide employment for 300 persons. It can be deduced that
there are great potential opportunities for the obsolete computers disposal industry containing recycle, remanufacture and
reuse engineering.
