AS STATED THOSE ITEMS RETURNED TO US IN A SERVICEBLE CONDITION AND FOLLOWING A REFURBISHMENT, REPAIR , OR REPLACEMENT COMPONENT/S WILL BE RE-SOLD AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE AND NOTED AS VINTAGE PRE OWENED PIECES. THIS WE CAN EFFECT STRAIGHT AWAY. WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING NEW "CIRCULAR SOLUTION" FOR THE DISPOSAL OF USED LEATHERGOODS, (NOT JUST OUR OWN). AND REMAIN RESOLUTE THAT NOTHING RETURNED TO US AT THE END OF LIFE WILL BE SENT TO LANDFILL. WHILST WE HAVE A FEW IDEAS AT THIS TIME, WE LACK THE REQUIRED INVESTMENT AND THE TECHINCAL EXPERTISE TO FULLY REALISE THESE POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITES. MANY OF THESE SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN TRIALLED FROM A RESEARCH AND PRACTICLE PRESPECTIVE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN FURTHER AS A VIABLE SOLUTION, MAINLY DUE TO THE COST AND INVESTMENT NEEDED. THIS HOPEFULLY WILL CHANGE IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME AND WE ARE SEEKING THE RIGHT COLLABORATORS TO BE ABLE TO BRING YOU OUR CHOSEN END OF LIFE PROCESS JUST AS SOON AS WE CAN. WE ARE COMMITTED TO FINDING A VIABLE AND FULL CIRCULAR SOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND WILL UPDATE YOU ON OUR PROGRESS.
