S3R helps GLS achieve a 60% reduction in costs by optimizing their approach to waste management.

Company:

GLS

Challenge:

The biggest challenge GLS had in its waste management efforts was the lack of recycling systems at many of its sites. Locations with designated spaces for recycling, typically had one piece of equipment for managing cardboard materials. This, combined with a lack of information regarding recyclable materials, led to a significantly low rate of recycling.

To prevent billing errors, there was a pressing need for tighter control over the waste management budget.

Solutions:

  • Optimize the management and treatment of GLS waste and recover its value.
  • Standardize waste management practices across all locations, which includes launching an extensive waste management program at every site, displaying appropriate signage, and conducting training and awareness initiatives for employees.
  • Improve oversight of the waste management budget by using contractual support and securing better rates.
  • Transitioning GLS operations to incorporate more sustainable practices in the long term and, over time, upgrading and enhancing environmental management systems (ISO 14001).
