CASE STUDY 03
Material Recovery, Classification & Cost Avoidance
THE PROBLEM
Material Recovery, Classification & Cost Avoidance
Over 1,000 pallets of unverified production components were at risk of full disposal due to lack of identification and quality uncertainty.
THE SCENARIO
What we walked into
- Large-scale component inventory (plastic, glass, metal)
- No labeling, tracking, or system visibility
- Exposure to outdoor conditions
- Initial plan: dispose of entire inventory
HOW WE HELPED
