The customer then takes the camera to the photo finisher. The photo finisher extracts the film, creates the prints, and delivers them to the user. I mentioned earlier that we have local assembly vendors doing the work for us. These sheltered workshops also happen to be some of our best assembly vendors, making them an obvious choice. The process at the sheltered workshop is straightforward and simple, like most elements of single-use camera manufacturing.
Parts are color coded for easy sorting.
Some parts are removed and reground. Some parts are tested and reused. Engines are reloaded with fresh film, and the process begins again. In that respect, it's a closed-loop process for recycling. Our entire assembly operation has created well over 1,000 jobs in Monore County, New York.
