Our Process

 

  1. Initial Assessment: We start by reviewing your product recall requirements to establish a project scope and define the standard operating procedures that will guide the demanufacturing and destruction process.

 

  1. Compliance Checks: Before taking any action, we ensure that all plans align with CPSC guidelines, as well as any other relevant regulatory mandates.

 

  1. Demanufacturing: The products are systematically disassembled down to their component levels. This meticulous process ensures maximum recovery of materials that can be recycled or reused.

  2. Material Sorting and Diversion: Post-demanufacturing, the materials are sorted into respective categories for recycling, reusing, or destruction.

 

  1. Documentation and Audit Trails: Throughout the process, we maintain thorough records to document each step. These records serve as your audit trail for compliance verification.
