Disposal


Explanation:
You need to find another word for 廃却 because "disposal" is the best word for 処分.
Perhaps:
Disposal of noncompliant products may be done by abandonment as waste or through sale.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Nick John (X): I like this rendering for the entire sentence, but I think as a contract the inclusion of など requires a "such as" or "including" kind of addition; also, I think "as waste" may be redundant.
