Reprocessing

The process by which ore, modules, ships or ice are reprocessed and turned into minerals, or in the case of capital size ships, components. A very small amount of items may not be reprocessed.

With the variety of items in game, each has a unique amount of minerals that make it up. What an item is reprocessed into can be found if you look for it in the item database. To reprocess you must be in a station or outpost with a reprocessing plant, or a POS with a refining array.

You can select as few or as many items as you like to reprocess. Once you have selected the items, hit the 'reprocess' button. This will show you the exact amount of minerals you will recieve from reprocessing. At this point you can choose to reprocess, or cancel to stop. Bear in mind that your skills, standings to the owner, and the base reprocessing ability of the station and refining array will effect the amount of minerals that you will recieve.

Reprocessing is a vital industry to industrialists and miners alike. Miners use it to reprocess their raw ore, and take the minerals to the market for sale. Industrialists use this to buy modules cheaply, reprocess them, and sell the minerals for profit. This is a vital facet to New Eden.
