Sustainable Solutions for Retail Remodels

Situation

A leading multinational retail corporation with thousands of stores across the U.S. is dedicated to keeping its locations fresh and modern through constant remodeling. With around 1,000 stores remodeled annually, this process creates  substantial waste and logistical challenges. Becker360 partnered with the company to provide streamlined logistics and minimize landfill use, helping the client save costs and meet sustainability goals.

Challenges

Retail remodels generate significant waste, including old shelving, bins, wood, and cardboard. Without proper management, these materials risk ending up in landfills, increasing environmental impact and costs. The client needed a reliable partner to:

1. Manage logistics for material removal across thousands of locations.
2. Provide sustainable solutions to divert materials from landfills.
3. Ensure cost efficiency while meeting sustainability objectives.
