Stock Waste

Various categories of waste stock and products necessitate that businesses maintain a legal record detailing the time and method of disposal. This practice ensures the complete removal of potentially harmful or sensitive materials from circulation. If your business consistently generates or handles materials that require proof of destruction, easywaste can provide valuable assistance.

Stock Waste Disposal

When stock is no longer needed, it can easily transition into waste. This can happen for various reasons, such as obsolescence, defects, recalls, or the sheer consumption of valuable storage space. Stock and product destruction entails the systematic removal and disposal of these items from your premises to prevent them from re-entering circulation.

The specific manner in which these products and materials are handled for disposal or recycling depends on their composition. Additionally, in many instances, you may need documentation or proof that the waste stock has been disposed of correctly, a service that our team can readily offer.

What Our Customers Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

What is surplus stock?

Surplus stock refers to any excess inventory, products, or goods that a business finds itself with in quantities exceeding its current needs. This surplus can occur for various reasons, such as overestimating demand or having contingency stock in case of higher-than-expected demand or to replace damaged or unsellable items due to breakage. However, it can also arise from poor forecasting.

What are the disposal methods for unqualified products?

Unqualified products are those that fail to meet the required legal, safety, or industry-specific standards, rendering them unsuitable for sale. The disposal of such products typically depends on their composition and nature:

  1. Shredding: This method is suitable for confidential items, clothing, and soft goods.
  2. Crushing: Appliances, recalled vehicles, and industrial equipment can often be safely disposed of through crushing.
  3. Incineration: Products subject to recalls, certain chemicals, and solvents may be disposed of via incineration.
  4. Recycling: Glass, paper, and certain types of plastic products can be recycled.
  5. Composting: Agricultural and food waste can be composted to minimise environmental impact.
What is electronic destruction?

Electronic destruction is the process for destroying digital data. Various methods are used to make sure all the data is unreadable and the electronic device it’s stored on is safely and completely destroyed. This can include the destruction of hard drives, media tapes, CDs, microfilm, electronic badges, and more.

What is obsolete stock?

Obsolete stock is that which your business can no longer use or sell. Stock usually becomes obsolete after there is no demand for it any more after a year or more. This can be due to new seasonal lines going on sale for fashion products or updated versions of electronic equipment, books, and other goods coming out. Obsolete stock differs from surplus or excess stock as there’s little to no use for it or chance of it being sold. With excess or surplus stock, it may still be needed as a back-up if demand suddenly increases, or existing stock becomes damaged and unsellable.
