Employer Description:
RDC was formed in 1991 starting life as a computer auction business operating from a small garage unit in Chelmsford, Essex. Across the next 6 years the business ran 365 auctions in 15 sites across southern England. In 1998 we began the conversion of the business to a service model with our first customer – the Environment Agency. In line with the sustainable objectives of the business every effort is made to prepare assets for reuse and value reclamation to the client. Assets are carefully and securely returned to our processing facilities, sorted, catalogued, uniquely identified, tested and potentially cleaned and upgraded. Working products are prepared for reuse, either for redeployment to the current owner or for sale to a new user. Products that fail during this evaluation process or fall below a minimum specification are considered for upgrade and repair, if those options are not considered viable and the product is not operational as a whole, any reusable components will be recovered. The remaining product will be allocated to a process of sustainable recyclate recovery, using accredited partners and market leading industrial processes. Such processes are highly monitored with detailed reporting of inputs and outputs that confirm compliance to environment standards which largely eliminates the need to landfill.
