Triple Install Success – Euro Food Centre
Case Study: Triple Baler Install Powers Smarter Waste Strategy
Client Overview
A long-standing retail client with a growing network of stores has partnered with us to enhance their sustainability efforts and streamline waste management. With the successful installation of their third baler, they’ve taken a major step forward in operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Challenge
As the customer expanded, managing waste across multiple sites became increasingly complex. They needed a solution that would:
- Reduce waste handling costs
- Improve logistics efficiency
- Support their sustainability goals
- Minimise landfill contributions
Solution
We implemented a three-tiered baling strategy across their network:
- Decentralised to Centralised Backhaul
- Smaller stores were equipped with compact balers to manage waste on-site.
- These compacted bales are backhauled to a central hub using the customer’s own fleet, optimising truck space and reducing transport frequency.
- Mill-Sized Baler at the Central Hub
- At the central site, we installed a mill-sized baler to consolidate smaller bales into full-sized ones.
- These are then shipped directly to the mill — eliminating third-party handling and unnecessary stops.
- Cost Savings & Rebates
- The new system has significantly reduced logistics costs.
- The client now earns rebates from all three sites, turning their waste into a revenue stream.
Results
| Impact Area | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Operational Efficiency | Improved logistics through backhaul consolidation |
| Cost Reduction | Lower transport and handling costs; new rebate income |
| Environmental Impact | Reduced landfill waste; enhanced circular economy practices |
| Scalability | Strategy now proven across three sites, with potential for expansion |
Sustainability Wins
This strategy is a clear example of how operational improvements can align with environmental goals. By keeping plastic out of landfill and supporting circular practices, the client is reinforcing their commitment to sustainability — and we’re proud to be part of that journey.
