Case Studies
Waste to wealth
A client’s organisation generates a large amount of cardboard waste, which costs them a lot of money to dispose of, while on the other hand, as an ecommerce company, hundreds of customers’ orders are shipped out with fresh packaging materials. Our contribution to this organisation’s effort to save cost and reduce waste was to introduce a circular economy principle to convert the waste cardboard to be reused for fresh orders or converted into void filling packaging materials. This simple but impactful exercise saw a 90% reduction in the cost of waste collection as well as a 50% reduction in the cost of new packaging cardboards.
Empowering a Small Business to Start Its Sustainability Journey
A small business faced challenges in identifying the best starting point for reducing waste and embarking on its sustainability journey, all while keeping costs low. The directors were keen to implement changes to minimise operational waste as part of their broader plan to eliminate non-value-adding costs and enhance profitability.

An e-commerce client faced high costs from disposing of cardboard waste while purchasing new packaging materials for customer orders. By introducing a circular economy approach, we helped the client repurpose waste cardboard for use in fresh orders or convert it into void-filling packaging.
