What makes DES an ideal Red Fox customer?
DES’s robust sales and service network throughout the country generates a significant volume of recyclable DPF and DOC cores. Their ability to generate recyclable cores through their daily workflows and dedication to sustainability has resulted in processes that ensure all recyclable DPFs and DOCs in a DES service facility are recycled and never thrown away.
What is the typical transaction process between Red Fox and DES?
DES aggregates the spent DPFs and DOCs from their service locations and sends them to a central facility. When DES is ready to recycle a load of parts, they call Red Fox. We will go to the facility where the parts are collected and provide a per-piece quote. When the quote is agreed upon, Red Fox will ensure that the parts are transported to our Oakland facility and that the recycling load is processed.
A recent recycling load from DES consisted of over 300 parts, and the prices per part ranged from $0 for the uncatalyzed parts to over $600 per part. Red Fox provides payment and a release of liability to DES within 15 business days.
What unique value does Red Fox provide DES?
Red Fox provides a compliant solution to our DPF and DOC recycling needs and liquidity to a commodity that can be tricky to manage. When we process recycling loads through Red Fox, we know we’ll get paid what they said we would when they said we would. But more importantly, we know that when we use Red Fox, our recycling will be completed in a manner that is consistent with our environmental compliance standards and aligned with our sustainability goals.” — Steve Hoke, President – Diesel Emissions Service
