Wine Cork Purchasing ~~ PLANS ~~
as of
December 26, 2009 |
|
WINE CORK PURCHASING -
In order to make the Wine Cork Recycling program a success,
there must be sales of a finished product - pulling the corks through
the system by market demand. This demand should cause a need to
replenish the supply of corks at a faster rate than they have come in
via contributions from environmentally conscience individuals and
businesses. Thus, a payment system is under development to assure
an adequate supply of wine cork feed stock. |
WHY POST-CONSUMER -
The real value in post-consumer recycled materials is that it changes
the most behaviors. Post-industrial and pre-consumer recycling only
change a few behaviors and business pressures ultimately should reduce
the amount of this waste. Keeping with the goal of affecting the most
behaviors, Yemm & Hart seeks post-consumer recycled wine cork stoppers
from individuals, groups and businesses. |
RULES for SELLING WINE CORKS TO YEMM & HART -
1.
Anyone can send corks prepaid - shipper pays freight.
2. Only registered suppliers will be paid.
3. Only cork pre-authorized to ship will be paid for.
4. Payment will be made according to the Cork Payment Rates.
5. Registered suppliers must send cork freight prepaid.
6. The minimum size shipment for payment is 10 lbs of pure
cork.
7. The maximum size package is 60 lbs (more and the package could
burst).
8. Good packing is the shipper's responsibility.
9. Non-cork package contents will be valued at 4x the pay rate of pure
cork.
10. The value of non-cork will be deducted from the value of pure cork.
11. Rules and prices may change at any time and without notice. |
RECOMMENDATIONS -
At this time Yemm & Hart has found that UPS Ground offers the least
expensive shipping but don't overlook the US Postal System. As with any
freight, the larger the volume shipped at any one time results in the
least shipping cost per Lb. For example, a 60 Lb package will generally
cost less to ship per Lb than 2 - 30 Lb packages.
CAUTION: If collecting and storing corks is contemplated, be aware that
200 and 275 (cardboard test) boxes, when stacked on top of with boxes
full of corks, will bulge out and could burst. For temporary storage of
300 Lbs or more, Yemm & Hart recommends using a Gaylord container on a
pallet. |
| CORK PAYMENT RATES
- To be determined
|
CORK PAYMENT RATE -
The payment rate that Yemm & Hart establishes
will be based upon the market scrap rate for cork. This amount should
yield the supplier of corks a net profit after paying for the
sending/shipping/freight. This arrangement encourages the supplier to
use the least expensive and most efficient shipping method.
Suppliers may use any service they choose. The freight must be paid for
by the supplier to the carrier. Yemm & Hart will receive, inspect, weigh
and record the corks sent and
then issue payment to the registered supplier within 30 days. Suppliers of
non-authorized or COD shipments of cork will not be paid. Yemm & Hart can
arrange the shipping for a fee that will be deducted from the cork
payment. |

REGISTERED WINE CORK SUPPLIERS -
Register by clicking on
 .
XX Indicates how far down the list
we have progressed. |
WHAT REGISTRATION MEANS -
To protect against an oversupply of wine corks, Yemm & Hart has
developed the registration list below for all individuals, groups and business
that want to recycle post-consumer wine cork stoppers and get paid for
doing it. Suppliers register by contacting Yemm & Hart and asking to
be registered. The registry date is
recorded and when Yemm & Hart needs to purchase cork, the list is
consulted. The registered supplier below the XX in the Progress column will be contacted.
Yemm & Hart intends to develop a buyer-seller relationship with each
registered supplier in order to accommodate the timing needs for both
parties. This method is Yemm & Hart's attempt to insure fairness to all. |
