Common Challenges
Multi-Vendor Complexity
Different vendors manage different streams, each with its own contracts, schedules, SLAs, and invoice formats that don’t align. The result is oversight blind spots, pricing inconsistencies, and avoidable admin burden that obscures total program cost and weakens accountability.
“Safe” Schedules, Hidden Costs
Limited visibility into actual fill patterns leads teams to maintain higher service levels across the board. The result is more pickups than needed in some areas and persistent pinch points in others, costs rise while true capacity needs remain unclear.
Inefficient Waste Design & Flow
Design inefficiencies, process flow issues, and waste handling procedures can contribute to congestion and increased handling, which may result in contamination fees, rejected loads, higher disposal costs, and reduced capture or diversion rates. These factors often lead to increased labor expenses and lower returns from rebates and recovered materials.
Sorting & Value Capture
Line-side capture and dock sorting are inconsistent, allowing recoverables to be mixed or contaminated and scrap to be downgraded below fair market value. This suppresses rebate potential, reduces revenue from buyers, and inflates disposal costs—masking true performance despite steady production.
Data & Reporting Gaps
Vendor-reported tonnages and service logs are often missing, incomplete, or inconsistent, making them non-auditable and impossible to independently verify. This leads to guesswork on diversion rates, delayed ESG reporting, and unreliable budgeting and performance decisions as your team spends excess time chasing down usable metrics.
Our Solutions
Each facility operates uniquely; considering factors such as production lines, changeovers, shift configurations, dock availability, and material composition determines what solutions are most effective. Our approach involves site-specific customization, followed by structured guidance through two primary channels: 360 Foundation, which focuses on designing and optimizing your setup (including line-side capture, station positioning, pull scheduling, and education) as well as establishing robust EHS/ESG reporting; and 360 Oversight, which introduces vendor accountability, billing management, and ensures consistent performance across all shifts and locations.
