Repair, Don't Waste!’s Post

Sustainable mobility sounds amazing but the amount of E-waste the rail industry produces due to the lack of repair capabilities is truly shocking. The world produces over 60 million tonnes of E-waste per year with rail being a large-scale contributor. Electrification will require even more equipment to be built into trains that should last 30 years but what happens when technology becomes obsolete? People will try to sell the idea that "new equipment saves energy thus we should embrace it" while warehouses are being filled with parts that still have decades of life left in them, shut behind closed doors and branded "biohazardous waste" so people don't go looking! For 40 years, ABI has been a leading repair enabler manufacturing systems that empower technology users to diagnose, repair and recover tonnes of circuit boards that would have been thrown away just because a capacitor or IC failed. Over 65 rail companies have invested in ABI solutions, joined the Repair, Don't Waste! movement and are now saving millions of dollars that would have gone into buying new equipment creating unnecessary emissions and waste. Become independent from OEMs by developing in-house repair capabilities with ABI! Meet our team at InnoTrans 2024 from the 24th to the 27th September in Berlin.
