One of the trends that we’ve seen with the appendix system is that when we look at who’s certified to what appendices by the numbers, I mean, obviously, most facilities are all certified to appendix A because they’re not the final destination. But when we look at those that are certified to be for logical and C for test and repair, it’s almost 75% of facilities. It’s over 800 something as compared to 400 something for materials recovery. We’re really seeing a trend in the industry going more towards that ITAD, that reuse space. I think that’s a positive trend because that’s going to get us to where we need to be to managing electronics, more sustainability with that reuse first mind frame.
