Happy Monday! Let’s get stuck in.

Circular Feature Showcase: ASAP Reverse Logistics

While many reverse logistics providers focus on high-value, low-touch categories like phones and laptops, ASAP Reverse Logistics (part of ARLL Group) has taken the opposite path, building a specialist model around the overlooked segment that generates the biggest operational strain: bulky, awkward and space-hungry returns that quietly erode margins and clog warehouses. Furniture, home & garden products, large appliances - ASAP handles it all.

✅ Transforming Bulky Returns from a Cost Burden into Value
Bulky items behave nothing like parcels: they are costly to handle, expensive to store, and frequently written off despite being recoverable. ASAP flips this dynamic by offering a structured, data-led workflow that increases recovery, restores visibility, and supports compliance with incoming EU sustainability and “no destruction” legislation.

✅ A 5R System that Maximises Recovery
ASAP delivers a full Reverse–Repair–Refurbish–Resell–Recycle solution designed to streamline complex return flows. Retailers send mixed, unsorted returns directly from DCs or 3PLs, where every item is inspected, cleaned, repaired, graded, and routed into controlled B2B or B2C channels. Items beyond recovery are dismantled and recycled, delivering full traceability and zero-waste pathways.

✅ Why Retailers choose ASAP’s Specialist Model
ASAP’s 5R workflow consistently outperforms traditional jobbers, protects brand reputation through controlled resale, and operates on a transparent revenue-share model, ensuring retailers earn a substantially higher return compared to liquidating stock at 5–12% of RRP. With SKU-level reporting, full audit visibility and zero cherry-picking, retailers gain higher recovery, stronger compliance, and fewer operational headaches.

✅ Put the Model to the Test
ASAP invites retailers to pilot 2-3 truckloads and benchmark their current write-off and storage costs against the 5R recovery model.
