What Goes Around Comes Around
Client Focused
At 4PRL LLC we consistently provide client-focused, global closed-loop reverse logistics services. This is accomplished through our world network of eco-certified processing facilities, accompanied by 40 years of recycling and reverse logistics experience in every aspect of the reverse movement and enhancement of products. We specialize in the management of: Return, Removal and Receipt Repackaging and Redeployment of Passive Assets Repair, Refurbishment and/or Recertification Remarketing and Resale Recycling and eco-responsible environmental disposition Remember: Reverse Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources between the point of consumption and the point of final disposition and no one has done it longer and better than our leadership.
Press Release March 29, 2011 – After several months of mapping and simulation studies, 4PRL LLC has completed a Scrap Processing Center (SPC) footprint that will serve current and future North American clients. Our network of sixteen (16) SPCs is now in place and ready to facilitate clients who have a network of multiple locations throughout the North America continent. Our SPC network is capable of processing all e-scrap as well as environmental CRT recycling, hard drive shredding and NIST compliant data sanitizing. These facilities are also geared to accommodate resale, including component recovery, testing, auditing, and data scrubbing for resale. The metals market has never been better than it is today, but with unpredictable and escalating fuel prices on the rise we didn’t want to see our clients have the good revenues gobbled up by the cost of transportation and handling. This is why we developed our SPC network of expert scrap processing facilities. Another concern we addressed was giving our clients a SPC Network that has all the best environmental and green credentials for guaranteeing the best in management, quality and data security. Our clients now have a global and one-stop-shop solution for all their electronic scrapping needs, and everything from transportation to scrapping to environmental disposition can be done through our web based password protected client portal. Our clients that have just one location or our clients that have hundreds of locations now have an easy to use tool for managing a closed loop scrap processing channel of events.
