In today’s world, it’s becoming increasingly important that we all actively adopt sustainable business practices to help protect the environment.

An important step in this process of becoming more environmentally conscious is shifting from a linear to a circular economy approach. That means moving away from a single use culture and instead reusing already existing products and resources, preventing them from ending up in landfill after their first lease of life comes to an end.

Now is the ideal time for businesses to act responsibly before legislation forces their hand, and reuse expert and auction house Ramco is here to help drive this change.

With over 26 years of experience working with organisations across all sectors, from the Ministry of Defence, to Legoland and National Highways, Ramco knows how to find new homes for unwanted assets, extending product lifecycles and contributing to the circular economy.

But what’s in it for the business? Aside from doing your bit to protect the environment and reduce your carbon footprint, using Ramco’s services helps you to free up storage space and generate vital funds.

Ramco’s value finder tool gives an overview of the kind of assets the auction house has found a home for in the past – from catering equipment to a fire engine and an Excavator. It also shows the financial return that was generated, and the carbon emissions that were saved by re-selling these assets and extending the lifespan.

Talking about financial return – research conducted by Ramco revealed there’s £59 billion worth of perfectly good equipment sitting idle in organisations across the country. That’s an average of around £10,000 per organisation!

Do you have items sitting idle? Start adopting a circular economy approach, for the environment and your business, and contact the Ramco team to start a conversation about finding value in your surplus assets.
