Consider reuse first
Working equipment may have scope for reuse or redeployment after suitable assessment and data treatment. Age alone does not determine the outcome.
Assess recovery potential
Condition, specification, demand and processing costs affect recoverable value. Neither a recovery payment nor a free collection is guaranteed.
Record the final route
When reuse is unsuitable, agree appropriate recovery and recycling routes. Separate recorded outcomes so reporting reflects what actually happened.
Make environmental claims carefully
Report measured quantities and documented outcomes. Carbon estimates require a stated method, recognised factors and clear assumptions.
