Parts harvesting
Operations
Parts harvesting is the disassembly of non-functional or heavily damaged devices to recover saleable components, including screens, cameras, batteries, and logic boards, as a downstream value recovery route when consumer-ready resale is not economically viable.
Parts harvesting requires up-to-date component-level market pricing to assess whether the sum of recoverable parts exceeds the full-device scrap or recycling value. For pricing intelligence purposes, parts pricing follows different supply and demand dynamics than consumer device pricing, and component values can decouple from device-level trends during repair cost spikes or component shortages.
