Disposal
The Evoque salvage process is a no cost innovative solution, serving the insurance industry since 2015. Once Evoque are appointed, the whole process is dealt with from collection to sale, working on the insurers behalf to maximise value and reduce losses.
If items are not eligible to be resold, for instance if they are too badly damaged, are hazardous or have brand protection restrictions, Evoque will activate the global recycling network in order to facilitate responsible disposal and ensuring nothing is diverted to landfill.
This process includes:
- Full inventory collation
- Collection and processing
- Issue of post case report, including relevant certificates of disposal, carbon reduction and waste metrics.
