Instead of throwing the NAND away, which increases electronic waste, the factories recycle them into cheaper products or sell them to local companies, giving rise to obscure SSD brands on the Chinese market.

Ah yes, I’m sure electronic waste is their top concern /s

Reprocessing components for lower-tier products or new products is a regular practice in the hardware world. Companies are always looking to maximize profits.

Ok, at least we touch on the real real eventually (at the very end of the article but fine).
