Circular Economy Asset Auctions

What is a circular economy?

A circular economy is a sustainability model that focuses on extending the lifecycle of products, materials and machinery. It opposes a more traditional model, where assets are made, used and disposed of. Instead, the reuse, recycling, and refurbishment of products are promoted in an attempt to reduce waste and environmental impact, while maximising their value over time.

How are asset auctions linked to a circular economy?

Asset auctions play a key role when an individual or business wants to dispose of an item they no longer need. Platforms like ours allow firms to sell their goods to new buyers instead of sending them to a landfill site. Utilising auctions can be a significantly more eco-friendly asset disposal method.

What are the advantages of selling assets to support the circular economy?

Environmental impact reduction – Reduce carbon emissions and landfill waste
Cost recovery – Value can be recouped from unused equipment, which can be beneficial when upgrading assets or during liquidation proceedings
Regulatory compliance – Adopting this sustainability model can support ESG and sustainability reporting
Reputation enhancement – Demonstrate to clients and customers your commitment to sustainability
Operational efficiency – Free up space and streamline asset management

How are circular economy asset auctions completed?

Asset sales that support a circular economy sustainability model follow the process as other auctions. When you choose our services, you will benefit from a streamlined approach that could mean your assets are listed online in days.

Assessment and valuation

Start your enquiry by contacting us to explain your requirements. We will send a RICS-certified expert out to your site to assess, itemise, photograph and value your goods. Our team will then transport your assets to our secure storage facility, so they can be collected once the auction closes.

Online listing and marketing

All photos and asset details will be passed on to our administrators, who will upload them as individual lots or multi-item auction listings. A date will be agreed for the bidding to commence, and we will conduct a tailored marketing campaign to encourage more people to make offers.

Aftersales

Once the sale concludes, successful bidders will be invited to collect their assets, completing this stage of the circular economy. Your funds will be transferred to you at this stage too.
