Giving OEM key fobs a second life
Every fob we can refurbish and return to service is one less electronic device headed to a landfill — and one more valuable OEM part helping another vehicle owner.
The best part isn't recycling. It's reuse.
Our first goal is never to recycle — it's to keep usable OEM key fobs in service. Only when a fob truly cannot be reused do we responsibly recycle its materials whenever possible.
Our sustainability process
Reuse before recycling — at every stage.
Why refurbished OEM matters
Quality
OEM components are designed specifically for the vehicle they were built for.
Less waste
Keeping OEM fobs in service reduces unnecessary electronic waste.
Smarter resource use
Every reused fob maximizes the value of materials already manufactured.
Community
Refurbished OEM fobs help dealers, repair shops, locksmiths, and owners.
Sustainability is good business
Many of the dealers we met at NIADA share something in common: they care about operating responsibly.
Recovering value from unused OEM key fobs isn't just about revenue. It's about making better use of resources, reducing waste, and helping quality OEM parts keep serving customers instead of ending up in a landfill.
That's a mission we're proud to support.
