Bio

I'm Kate Hoch, I have a degree in industrial engineering, and I work a 9-5 job as a pneumatic conveying development engineer.

I am often asked if the parts I used are recycled. The parts are generally new/unused. Parts ripped out of old electronics are difficult to work with due to their short leads, and limited supply of like items. However, nearly all the parts I use are surplus components from manufacturing or military use. Many would likely end up getting tossed if I didn't use them.
I am trying to incorporate more recycled items, pulled directly from scrap electronics. This is usually mentioned in the item description.
