Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Recoup.
That’s Remanufacturing.
Reducing the impact on our environment is critical to what we do. In fact, it is how RTE came to be in 1981 when we began as a remanufacturer of electronic controllers for the refrigerated transport industry.
Did you know?
RTE dedicates an entire company division expressly for remanufacturing reefer controllers.
Electronic remanufacturing has a positive impact on the environment by reducing waste and emissions
- Increases product life spans – Our processes allow otherwise broken products to re-enter a new life cycle, often with a warranty guarantee.
- Conserves resources – We reuse functional components, effectively reducing the consumption and subsequent need for mining additional raw materials that are becoming scarcer and more costly to source.
- Reduces energy consumption and emissions – By remanufacturing broken parts into like-new conditions, we are using less energy than it takes to produce a brand-new product and reducing overall emissions.
- Lessens impact on landfills – We repair and remanufacture electronics that could otherwise end up in landfills, potentially harming the environment and our water supply.
- Creates jobs – Remanufacturing is a global industry that supports multiple careers and skills, from technicians and engineers to sales and marketing.
- Saves money – Our customers benefit through reduced costs and increased profitability through remanufacturing.
Our remanufacturing process repairs broken or inoperable electronics, returning them to like-new working products. Rather than throwing them away and purchasing new ones, we ensure sustainability through reuse and reducing the negative impacts on our environment while lowering the overall investment cost of ownership to end-users.
It’s a win-win-win solution for our business, customers, and the environment.
Energy conservation.
Waste reduction.
Reefer transport operations worldwide trust RTE’s innovative monitoring products to provide data on refrigerated container use and to identify opportunities to conserve energy waste. We build products that can last longer and do more yet consume less energy and produce less waste.
Did you know?
Conserving energy in refrigerated transport operations can be as simple as closing an open container door or shutting down a unit after the cargo is removed. RTE wireless technologies provide remote visibility into container conditions, increasing efficiencies and conserving energy.
How we are helping with energy management:
- Power-saving technology – By engineering power-saving technologies, our products help users save energy. As a result, we effectively reduce the energy requirements of our products, providing an added benefit to end-users looking to minimize the impact of electrical consumption.
- Managing energy consumption – Through innovative software architecture and creative hardware circuitry, processes only run when the product is in an active state.
- LED technology – Our products use only low-power LED lights, providing end-users with long-lasting durability and less energy consumption.
- Reducing waste – Our wireless products aim to meet or exceed a 5-year interval between battery replacements, trimming maintenance costs, and reducing waste.
With our efforts to create products that operate more efficiently, consume less energy and provide long life cycles, we are helping reduce negative environmental impact. And when brought to scale – RTE has a growing list of over 70,000 reefer points monitored globally – we are effectively reducing energy production emissions at the global level.
