  • In this episode of the All Things Circular podcast, we introduce you to our fourth and final member of our team, Damian Polak! Damian joins us to delve into the critical role of liquidation within sustainable supply chains. As an expert in liquidations, closeouts, and secondary market resale, Damian shares insights on the strategic value of liquidation — not just as a fallback option and cost center but as a proactive solution for businesses looking to keep valuable assets in circulation while avoiding waste.

    Listeners will learn about the art and science behind effective liquidation, including pricing strategies, channel selection, and risk management. Damian discusses the decision-making process that businesses face when determining whether to liquidate, refurbish, or remanufacture assets, and reveals how savvy liquidators can uncover hidden value in what others deem obsolete. The discount retail concept of bin stores is also discussed here, as that is where Damian got his start with liquidations and reselling of returns.

    We also explore the pressing need for businesses to shift from landfill solutions to sustainable liquidation practices. Discover the environmental consequences of neglecting liquidation and the financial pitfalls of failing to establish a resale pipeline. Damian provides key strategies for maximizing recovery value, all while ensuring compliance in this ever-evolving landscape shaped by technology, AI, and online marketplaces.
