The report showcases the Company's progress towards creating a better future for organizations, individuals, and the planet.
The circular economy's necessity has never been greater and will only continue to grow as more organizations recognize its potential and power, said Chairman and CEO Bill Angrick. As our technological, economic, and service capabilities expand, so does our resolve to lead by example and create a better future through sustainable business practices.
Highlights from the 2024 report include:
- Expansion of our AllSurplus Deals marketplace into Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas, leveraging existing fulfillment centers to provide local consumers access to overstock and returned retail goods and divert them from landfills.
- Reusing and recycling 375,000 pounds of electronic materials, 767,000 pounds of cardboard, and over 2,000 tons of wood materials across our eight fulfilment centers.
- Donating nearly $30,000 in furniture, home goods, and children's products to local charities.
As projections for the value of the reverse logistics industry continue to skyrocket, commitment to fostering circular commerce through trusted global marketplaces continues to be a priority for Liquidity Services.
