On the last journey: factories where old equipment is recycled. 
We trade in old equipment and get a discount on a new product, but have you ever wondered where that junk goes? It is disassembled into the smallest parts and then used in the production of some other electronics or equipment. We invite you to “travel” around the world with the help of our selection and see how electronics set off on their final journey.

Well, if suddenly there are no trade-in promotions in your city, then there are probably collection points for old devices and equipment. This is much better and more correct than throwing a broken TV in a landfill. The fact is that electronics may contain toxic substances that will harm the environment. With the right approach, old parts can become new components of other equipment.
