Ever wonder what happens to unclaimed delivery items or returned goods? Too much stock of a certain product? 

Well, most of it usually ends up in a landfill—unless you work with LIQUID8.

Hello, less waste. LIQUID8 works with e-commerce platforms, logistics companies, and businesses to acquire excess inventories, dead stock, or used equipment.

  • LIQUID8 lists these items on their site, adding details about the item’s condition, as well as shipping and payment details. 
  • Other businesses can bulk buy items for a discounted price. 

Eco-friendly disposal. For items they have to throw away, LIQUID8 incinerates the goods and sends them to treatment plants.

2024 highlights

Last year, the company reportedly re-commerced over 2.1K metric tons of overstock and failed delivery e-commerce items. 

  • LIQUID8 was launched in September 2023 in Indonesia.

💸 What’s with the $$$? 

They’ll improve their e-commerce solutions to help more Indonesian MSMEs reduce waste.
