What are RAM Modules?

Random Access Memory (RAM) modules are at the core of every computer, storing and processing valuable information. When it’s time to upgrade or dispose of outdated IT hardware, these modules should never be thrown away. They often contain sensitive data and valuable metals that can be safely recovered and reused.
