The 3 Rs of Protosemi —Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—is a concept that has been around for a long time for simple items: Let us introduce you to Protosemi’s version of the 3 Rs

Reduce means purchase products that require less packaging and limit the waste you are producing. Protosemi reduces greenhouse emissions and harmful chemicals in the environment by extending product lifecycles well beyond what the OEM wanted. Doubling the lifecycle of the handler, offsets 2x the carbon and waste that was used to originally create the machine!

Reuse means using a travel mug or reusable water bottle and avoiding single-use bags. Protosemi reuses by incorporating modern technologies into legacy tools. It is no longer necessary to buy a new tool every 10 years, instead allow Protosemi to upgrade and enhance the tool and give it a new use on a new product.

Recycle is a term used for simple items like plastic packaging, glass bottles, or magazines. Protosemi recycles the entire system and avoids the energy required for the recycling process itself. Protosemi employs the highest form of recycling in our repair and re-purpose policies.

Join our recycling efforts and see how our program merges environmental responsibility with the economic benefits that are critical to semiconductor manufacturing.

By using our refurbished part, you reduce the need for resource material. With out exchange program we reuse parts that usually gets wasted even so they can be easily reused without performance impact. Packaging material we receive will be reused and for our own packaging we use environmentally friendly material wherever we can.
