Shorter Lifecycle = Higher TCO
I agree with my colleague Jeff Ziegler's comments that reuse is the best recycling--a position that that I have advocated to clients since 1998. Shortening asset lifecycles to capture greater resale value accomplishes only two things: higher Total Cost of Ownership for the enterprise, and more sales/profits for the manufacturers. Companies that take a disciplined approach to lifecycle planning understand that even older assets can be resold by those who understand the markets, and that only the OEMs benefit from early retirement.
