The word “De-manufacture” is the process AES employs to break down furniture & equipment that is no longer fit to be re-used in its original form. De-manufacturing reduces the product into component form in preparation for our re-cycling of the raw materials.
Any item that is received at our processing plant that falls into the unusable category after sorting is placed into our De-Manufacturing programme. For example, a metal-framed desk or workstation would undergo the following process:
All screws and fixings will be removed and reused were possible.
Plastic components, such as cable trays, covers and risers are sent for plastic re-cycling.
Electrical cable and sockets are placed into our collection receptacles ready for testing and re-use where appropriate. Those items that are not appropriate are placed into the electrical re-cycling bins.
The steel or aluminium leg frames compact and sent for recycling.
Wood surfaces and panels are stripped of any PVC edgings or reinforcements. The plastic processed ready for re-cycling and the wood panels chipped and pulped in preparation for collection by our strategic partner for wood fibre re-cycling.
Non-recyclable Filing cabinets and steel storage units:
All residual paper waste contained within the product is removed and shredded in our media and paper shredding facility.
Brass locks, hinges and other fittings are sorted and placed into the non-ferrous metal collectors, ready for re-cycling.
Non-metal products such as label holders, handles etc. are removed placed into the electrical re-cycling bins and sent for plastic re-cycling
The steel or aluminium fittings and carcases are compacted and sent for recycling.
