Consider a representative company replacing 350 desktop computers across several departments.
The company could classify every machine as obsolete and send the entire lot directly for recycling.
However, inventory analysis may reveal several distinct value groups.
Some computers may contain modern Intel Core processors and NVMe storage.
Some may still be suitable for refurbishment.
Other systems may have damaged cases but usable RAM and SSDs.
Only a smaller group may have little remaining reuse value.
By separating these categories before final disposition, the organization gains a clearer picture of potential asset recovery.
This approach can also improve inventory accuracy and reduce unnecessary electronic waste.
