Demanufacturing is the process of breaking down electronic equipment into metallic and non-metallic parts that can be recycled. Hazardous materials contained in the equipment are removed and disposed of properly. Some of the electronic equipment that DRMS receives from the military services is damaged or outdated and therefore no longer valuable for its intended purpose. Other electronic equipment must be rendered useless through demilitarization (shredding, sheering, etc.) so that it can not be used again for its originally intended purpose. Since the property can not be reused or sold intact, it will be broken down through demanufacturing. This will avoid having to scrap the property and it potentially being used as landfill.
