Recycling

ARCA Understands That Money Isn’t Everything

If a product cannot be resold, or repurposed through our various methods, we do the right thing by our client and the planet; we properly recycle the material. ARCA also buys scrap materials for recycling outside of the projects we process on a regular basis.

Where ARCA Steps In

Clients of ARCA save time and money by allowing us to manifest, sell and recycle their unwanted, obsolete, return, and surplus material. Status quo liquidation methodology is highly fragmented and often provides organizations with little financial return, and even less brand integrity. Instead, clients of ARCA focus on running their businesses while we get the highest returns for their materials. Everything we do is done with transparency and the latest environmentally conscious standards such as R2.

In our world, Recycling goes hand-in-hand with Asset Recovery.

When ARCA commits to a client for a project, we don’t just cherry-pick your most valuable assets, we commit to realize a sustainable disposition for every last asset you have. Even if this means, taking on costs to recycle your remaining assets. We believe that if there ever has been a loss-leader to take, recycling is surely it.

Doing whatever it takes to keep out planet clean.

Although we’ll do whatever it takes to keep your assets out of a landfill, there are areas of recycling that we have considerable experience in. We frequently accept recycling projects in the areas of…
  • Ferrous Metal
  • Non-Ferrous Metal
  • Precious Metal
  • E-Waste
  • Lead Acid Batteries
  • Lithium-ion Batteries
  • Natural Rubber
  • (SBR) Synthetic Rubber
  • Plastics (PETE, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, and PS)
  • Paper and Cardboard

Project Appraisal

ARCA evaluated and planned for the resources needed to accept and process tens of thousands of SKUs on an annual basis. ARCA also researched and prepared the necessary customer base and recycling partners to meet the specific needs of the client. ARCA’s appraisal process made the financial outcomes predictable.

Material Processing

ARCA processes over 10,000 new SKUs into our system for this ongoing project annually. We also warehouse and distribute over 100,000 individual pieces of this inventory to our customers each year. All of this movement is tracked and reconciled back to the individual shipment ARCA received, while saving the client over 3,000 man hours and 20,000 square feet.

Re-Commerce

ARCA operates ARCA branded and non-ARCA branded sale channels to sell this equipment to our customers. Brand integrity is one of the top priorities for this manufacturer and ARCA keeps a close eye on maintaining a legitimate and trusted customer base for these materials. Our model and 0% landfill policy also keeps over a million pounds of these products out of landfills each year.

The client now has a trusted source to handle all their surplus materials without lifting a finger. The client knows that the materials will be responsibly dealt with and has a 100% transparent line of sight into the second life of their products. Nearly best of all, is that they are generating substantially more revenue than liquidation would have.

Logistics Manager

Public Sector Semiconductor Manufacturer

Project Appraisal

ARCA acted immediately to accurately evaluate the market value of the equipment and the required logistical efforts to complete the project. The cost to relocate this equipment outweighed its value. Although brand new, the equipment would have been destined for a scrap yard. ARCA appraisal revealed that taking over the clients facility was the best route.

Material Processing

Within 30 days, ARCA dispatched a team to a new city and took over operation of the facility that stored the surplus equipment. All 400 pieces of equipment were properly documented, inspected, weighed and pictured for resale into the market. All progress was efficiently documented for the clients peace of mind.

Re-Commerce

Before the deadline, ARCA found a buyer for every last piece of equipment. The sales, service, and logistics were hands-off for the client. The financial gain from this equipment was considerably larger than the scrap or liquidation income and the client regained full-use of their facility before expected.

Factory construction plans were put on pause. The equipment that was pre-purchased and stored for future expansion was now non-useful surplus and taking up considerable space required for something else. There was less than a 6-month deadline before the equipment would have to be scrapped.

CAPEX Manager

Public Sector Tire Manufacturer

Project Appraisal

ARCA researched the necessary requirements to recycle tire waste. This included the land and sea logistics for over 325 overweight shipments per year. ARCA developed a proposal and catered it to reflect the most important needs of the factory.

Material Processing

In manufacturing, costs are critical and misused space is an unnecessary cost to the goods being made. It was critical that the tire factory was able to remove all waste from their facility the day it was generated. ARCA delivered the trucking and warehousing to make this possible.

Re-Commerce

Natural rubber, blends, polyethylene, steel, nylon and sometimes a mix of all, require different vendors and processes to recycle properly. ARCA seamlessly manages and evaluates these customers for the most financial benefit to the tire factory while protecting their IP with a zero-landfill solution.

Tire manufacturing generates a large amount of waste in various forms of substantially different values. Finding one vendor to process all waste streams is a challenge and managing all of the vendor payment terms, agreements, and schedules is a headache.
