For a global food-processing manufacturer: Tapping a new revenue stream while helping the environment.

This client is dedicated to using the latest science and innovation to increase the availability of health-promoting food ingredients. With 3,500 employees and more than $1 billion dollars in annual sales, they also acknowledge the importance of contributing to the environmental health of the communities where they operate. By handling all of the logistics of their waste stream locally, including the collection, transport, sorting, and recycling, we have enabled them to divert more than 97% of their food waste, cardboard, plastic, and paper products from landfills. We also provide on-site service for all of their in-house recycling equipment.

For a global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider that offers services in more than 30 countries: Meeting global environmental goals one service center at a time.

iSustain provided a comprehensive solution which enables their Memphis, TN facility to divert 100% of its waste from local landfills. We work with their staff to institute processes to recycle their scrap metal, sales literature, cardboard, polyethylene foam, and LDPE film. We were also able to assist them in optimizing their in-house baling operation to further improve the logistics of their facility-wide recycling efforts.   And after all recycling efforts were complete, we installed the equipment and provide unique one of a kind logistics to move residual materials to waste to energy facility – eliminating their use of a landfill.

How iSustain Improved their Bottom Line

By implementing our programs, the facility reduces its environmental impact, contributes to their corporate sustainability goals, and generates an additional $24k per year in profitability.

For the nation’s leading retailer: Closer to a “zero waste” goal and a hefty addition to their bottom line

Attaining the goal of generating “zero waste” for a large grocery chain is a massive undertaking. iSustain is proud to be a part of this company’s efforts to substantially affect the environment while maintaining their cost-conscious business model.

We were called upon to help this client recycle the maximum amount of their waste stream with a minimal physical footprint and no additional labor or capital expenses. Previous waste haulers and waste management companies gave false promises, no solutions, and the same result from excessive hauls and repeated price increase.  We focused on developing solutions for organics, plastics, and residual wood.  To accommodate their goals, we devised a unique collection process for their strapping, film, produce, and wood that require little space or investment. Prior to our solution only the cardboard and film had been recycled.

How iSustain Inc Improved their Bottom Line

This successful process has given them a road map to meet their goals for this region and increase their profitability by approximately $60k- $120k per year.
