Introduction:
Sutherland Research & Development created the Computer & Components, Testing Refurbishment & Redistribution Department to combat exponentially growing ewast problem currently being experienced in Australia.
Refurbishment & Redistribution:
E-Recycle is not a dirty word,
Too many computers, computer components and periferals are simply dumped or offloaded to bargan outlets with NO quality assessment or testing conducted. This risk tranferance has forced buyers to assume all second hand computers and parts are suspect.
This culture of "Caveat Emptor" has forced those who can ill aford a faulty part to buy new over second hand and choose to discard systems that with a simple fix would have been quite servicable had they testing facilities in place.
Refurbishment of equiptment includeds all relivent technical documentation and requisite drivers, Redistrubution carries a garety that all equiptment sealed with the QA Passed sticker has been tested and passed as functional by SR&D labs.
Social & Eco Responcability over financial gain
SR&D Subsidises activityies in the Computer & Components, Testing Refurbishment & Redistribution Department as it reconised also that many people considering buying second hand where often economically disadvantaged and did not deserve to have junk foisted upon them, so put in place a Quality Assurance Program that would ensure that buyers could purchase second hand equiptment with confidence, do a good turn for the enviroment and save systems that would otherwise been landfill.
