Strategic Optimization

​​​

Customer Objective

​​

Improve visibility into waste streams, reduce landfill disposal and identify environmental optimization opportunities across a national logistics network.

​

The Challenge

​

Large transportation networks generate diverse waste streams. Traditional waste programs focus on disposal, creating limited visibility into landfill avoidance, cost efficiency and material recovery opportunities.

​

Sustain Solution

​

Sustain evaluated every waste stream to identify opportunities for:

​
•  Reuse & Recovery
•  Container Optimization
•  Transportation Risk Reduction
•  Material Consolidation

•  Stabilization & Treatment Planning

​

The greatest value is often created before the waste leaves the facility.

​Key Results

​​

•  298,520 LBS Managed

•  82% Non-Landfill Rate

•  150+ Optimization Actions

•  935 LBS Reuse Potential
