BER’s
In the course of all the refurbishing we do with all the various products we receive, we run into and separate a number of units into what we call BER’s. It’s our acronym for Beyond Economic Repair, which just means that to bring it up to our standards of high quality, fully functional refurbishment, it would take too much labor-time or additional materials – or both.
Our on-going processing of floor mats (for example), about a fourth of what comes in is BER; they might have tears, or wholes, or stains we can’t justify refurbishing – even though they are clean, they just don’t make “the cut”. So, what to do, what to do? The answer is provided by our customers, who, over the years, have purchased pallets of our BER floor mats for an array of unique purposes. Here is part of the continually growing list of those uses:
- Truck-bed Protective Liners
- Barn, Shop & Shed – Dust, Dirt & Moisture Control
- Walk-in Cooler Traction Enhancers
- Shed Flooring
- Greenhouse Path Covers
- Hog Farrow’s & Chicken Coop’s
