A Certificate of Destruction (COD) is the documented proof that specified items were destroyed securely and completely. Ours are photo-documented and tied to a chain-of-custody record, so your compliance and ESG teams have audit-grade evidence, not a verbal promise, for every destruction event.

Overview

What certificates of destruction covers

A COD is what turns "we threw it away" into defensible proof. Auditors, regulators, and ESG frameworks want documentation, and a photo-backed certificate provides it.

Every TRQ destruction job, uniforms, product, or textiles, closes with a COD and the underlying chain-of-custody record, retained and available for your file.

FAQ

Certificates of Destruction FAQ

It is the formal record proving specified items were destroyed securely and completely. Ours are photo-documented and linked to a chain-of-custody record for audit-grade evidence.
A clear description of what was destroyed, when and how, under documented custody, with verifiable proof. Our photo-backed certificates are built to satisfy that.
Yes. Uniform, product, and textile destruction all close with a Certificate of Destruction.
Yes. Each certificate carries the diversion tonnage and how the material was handled, which is exactly the sourced evidence an ESG disclosure needs. Your team uses those records directly; we do not operate a reporting platform.
Certificates and their chain-of-custody records are retained and available to you after the job, so an audit two years from now can still be answered with the original documentation rather than a recollection.
No, and the distinction matters. A Certificate of Destruction is a document recording that specified items were destroyed on a given job. An accreditation is a credential a company holds from an outside body. TRQ issues the former and does not claim the latter.
