recoverables
Items to retrieve
Recoverables are assets, costs, or amounts that can be retrieved or reclaimed.
In business and insurance contexts, these are expenses that can be billed back to clients or claimed from other parties: The audit identified several recoverables we'd missed.
In environmental contexts, recoverables are materials that can be salvaged from waste streams for recycling or reuse.
