Why Factories Crush Perfectly Good Components | Kenny McGee on Redistributing Excess Inventory Component Sense 2026-07-07 | Component Sense CEO Kenny McGee explains why manufacturers scrap billions of dollars in perfectly good electronic components every year, and how excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory redistribution can turn that dead stock back into cash.In this episode, Kenny sits down with James Sweetlove to unpack the hidden cost of excess electronic components, obsolete stock, and e-waste in the global electronics supply chain. He traces his journey from a 1985 apprentice at Ferranti to founding Component Sense, a global marketplace built to lead electronic manufacturers towards zero waste.Kenny shares what he witnessed firsthand at Agbogbloshie in Ghana, the world's largest e-waste site, and explains how franchise rules currently prevent manufacturers from redistributing excess components, costing the industry money and exacerbating the e-waste crisis. He also breaks down how Component Sense uses AI tools like Claude to build smarter excess-stock solutions for OEM and EMS clients managing slow-moving stock, ranging from outright purchase and Consignment to InPlant™.If your factory has excess electronic components, obsolete parts, or excess inventory sitting on the shelf, this episode shows you how to recover that value instead of scrapping it.📄 Read the full Corning case study: connect.componentsense.com/corning-case-study🔔 Subscribe to Component Sense for more on excess and obsolete component redistribution, electronics supply chain sustainability, and the circular economy for manufacturers.🔗 Learn more about our E&O solutions: componentsense.com/sell-obsolete-excess-electronic-components#ExcessInventory #ObsoleteComponents #EWaste #CircularEconomy #ElectronicComponents #ComponentSense #SupplyChainSustainability #InPlant

A Conversation with Carolina Rapezzi About E-Waste Component Sense 2024-10-31 | Component Sense CEO and Founder, Kenny McGee, recently sat down with award-winning photographer and journalist Carolina Rapezzi.Carolina is known for her work documenting social, environmental, and humanitarian issues around the globe. “Burning Dreams” was a project by Carolina between 2018 and 2019. During the project, she visited Agbogbloshie, Ghana, then the world’s largest electronic waste landfill, with significant quantities arriving illegally from Western nations, particularly Europe.While Agbogbloshie was unexpectedly demolished in 2021 by the Ghanaian government, informal e-waste practices are now scattered across the surrounding areas in and around Accra. Carolina’s coverage of Agbogbloshie represented just one example of the global e-waste crisis.Component Sense is driven to reduce e-waste and minimise its harmful environmental and health effects. In places like Accra, Ghana, e-waste burning severely pollutes the environment and poses serious health risks for long-term workers. Many toxic materials, including lead, mercury, and flame retardants, are present in e-waste. Kenny recently had an honest conversation with Carolina about her time creating Burning Dreams, which aimed to highlight both the hardships and aspirations of locals working in e-waste recycling sites. Their discussion touched on Western accountability, the resourcefulness of Accra’s locals, and the evolving perception of the electronics sector.#electronicwaste #ewaste #sustainablefuture #ghananews #agbogbloshie #burningdreams
Inside the Lens of Carolina Rapezzi Component Sense 2024-10-14 | Carolina Rapezzi has made a name for herself for her work documenting social, environmental, and humanitarian issues around the world.One of her most compelling projects, “Burning Dreams,” takes us into the landscape of Agbogbloshie, Ghana—once the world’s largest e-waste landfill. Here, mountains of discarded electronics were dumped, endangering the local communities and the ecosystem alike. While Agbogbloshie itself no longer exists, the e-waste crisis is still at large in Accra, with informal recycling of e-waste now scattered across the region.Part of Carolina’s reportage is her award-winning photograph of Rashida, a young girl who travelled from northern Ghana to sell water to the scrap yard workers of Agbogbloshie. Rashida’s story is one of many that Carolina brought to the public eye with the power of her camera.At Component Sense, we are committed to supporting sustainable initiatives in Accra alongside Carolina. We plan to visit the area to participate in community-driven projects, including e-waste clean-up and building sustainable infrastructure. Stay tuned for more details on our projects with Carolina and Kenny McGee, our CEO.In our exclusive interview, Carolina Rapezzi sits down with Vivian Trịnh for Component Sense to share insights from her time in Ghana. Carolina delves into the complex realities faced by the people of Agbogbloshie and the environmental impact of e-waste. #electronicwaste #ewaste #internationalewasteday #sustainablefuture #ghananews #agbogbloshie #burningdreams
