National Grocery Retailer
Challenge
A national grocery retailer struggled with inconsistent recycling practices across 23 distribution centers. Underperforming equipment, lack of standardized processes, and limited visibility were reducing efficiency and leaving revenue on the table.
Solution
4G implemented a nationwide recycling optimization program that standardized bale quality, improved load utilization, introduced performance tracking, and provided ongoing operational support and reporting.
Results
The program increased tons per load by 27%, improved operational efficiency across the network, reduced transportation-related emissions, and generated an additional $15 per ton in recycling revenue.
