A Unique Recycling Case Study
Innovative Waste Recycling (IWR) is a waste and byproducts management company that provides sustainable solutions for various industries. IWR was presented with a unique opportunity to collaborate with a group in the recycling industry that had specific needs. This case study explores how IWR successfully addressed those needs and established a mutually beneficial partnership.
The Challenge
The client, a recycling material generator (RMG), faced a predicament with its existing recycling process. The group entrusted with handling their recyclables was doing so unsafely and haphazardly. This dangerous handling posed risks to safety and health and was an insurance concern for RMG. Recognizing the potential hazards, IWR proposed an alternative approach to address these concerns and improve efficiency.

Ensuring the client was protected from damages and that they had reliable hauling and sorting.
Solving the Problem
The Solution
IWR offered to step in and provide a safer and more straightforward process. The client proposed using a facility where IWR could handle the recyclables securely and safely. This innovative solution aimed to protect the client from risks while ensuring the professional and timely handling of the materials.
The Unexpected Connection
The company responsible for mishandling the recyclables was also the end purchaser of the recycled product. By prioritizing safety and professionalism, IWR played a valuable role in effectively meeting the needs of both the generator and the purchaser of the recycling material. The IWR solution benefited all parties involved.
The Agreement
IWR and the buyer entered into a contract to clarify the responsibilities and liabilities. According to the agreement, all insurance and liabilities associated with material handling became the purchaser’s sole responsibility. This agreement ensured that the client was not liable for any incidents or damage during or after the handling process.
The Benefits
The collaboration between IWR and RMG yielded several benefits. IWR established a strong relationship with RMG by meeting their unique needs and demonstrating a commitment to safety and professionalism. Additionally, the purchasing group that previously mishandled the materials now had a secure and reliable source for the product.
After the Implementation
Ongoing Collaboration
The partnership between IWR, RMG, and the purchaser continues to thrive. IWR coordinates regular appointments, allowing RMG to move recyclables as needed while avoiding space constraints and ensuring the purchaser can safely handle the materials at the new transfer site. This ongoing collaboration ensures that all parties benefit from a streamlined and reliable recycling process.
