Body Armour Disposal

In addition to designing and manufacturing ballistic and stab proof armour, we offer a destruction and disposal service.

Given that ballistic body armour is classified as a prohibited weapon in Australia, it cannot be discarded in general waste without prior destruction. It is also by nature hard to destroy.

We offer an armour destruction service for ballistic soft armour, ballistic hard armour and stab resistant panels, which in line with our ISO 9001 certified quality system, guarantees safe and reliable destruction, then disposal of used armour, to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.

Our process involves rendering the armour inoperative by cutting it into small pieces (soft armour panels) or crushing (hard armour plates). Depending on the armour materials and quantities, disposal options include recycling, secure deep burial or general waste. All serial numbers are recorded and a certificate of destruction is issued upon completion, plus serial number records of destroyed armour retained indefinitely.
