Business recycling solutions in action
Scaling PPE recycling through optimized logistics and infrastructure
A global life science and clinical research leader partnered with TerraCycle to scale its PPE recycling program. Limited internal storage and exposure to outdoor weather conditions made it difficult for their facilities to collect, store, and ship materials without risk of contamination or operational disruptions.
Installed a covered outdoor storage area to protect collected PPE from weather-related degradation.
Increased pallet storage capacity, allowing the site to manage higher volumes of waste.
Streamlined the shipment process to ensure maximum material density per pickup.
Our solution and results:
Reduced the frequency and complexity of shipments by consolidating more material per transport.
Eliminated the risk of material contamination through weather-protected storage.
Significantly improved total recycling outcomes, allowing the facility to meet ambitious corporate waste reduction targets.
