I don't like refurbished parts, because sometimes it makes my hands a little dirty....
But if it could be used again onto some equipments sounds not so dangerous, like a game machine.
I think they at least contribute to environmental purpose... It it is thrown away, it is so hard to be refurbished.
I try to make boards using ROHS without extra cost, this could also be a little better to environment.
I must confess my little business are polluting southeastern China... but have to make a living.
Use Organic Surface Protection instead of Gold or Sn/Pb surfacing, it is much better.
Living standard of my country is so complex. some are very rich, more people are poor.
I think this is simliar throughout the whole world...
