Investment - eQuip
eQuip – Offers support in leasing equipment for
recycling.
Set up by WRAP to issue residual value guarantees
(RVGs) to finance providers in support of selected
recycling equipment leases
An RVG underwrites the future value of leased
equipment
Overcomes asset risk for finance providers – lack of
secondary market and uncertain values
eQuip is a unique guarantee scheme for recycling
businesses
