TVG Waste Solutions Success Story
CLIENT
Daily Printing Company is a long-time leader in the printing industry, providing quality printing and marketing services to both major corporations and small businesses. The 70,000 sq ft facility generates large quantities of scrap materials from its print process.
CHALLENGE
Daily was struggling with a common problem: their waste hauler was grossly over-servicing their trash needs while not providing adequate recycling service and education on reducing waste.
1. Overpaying hauler for unneeded service.
2. Overlooking the disposal of a large percentage of recycling.
3. Missing out on an effective environmentally-conscious marketing narrative.
SOLUTION
During a complete site and operations analysis, TVG Waste Solutions discovered that ink containers used within the printing presses were being thrown away despite being recyclable. TVG implemented equipment and process modifications to increase efficiency and reduce the number of waste pickups.
RESULT
Daily Printing now saves money on its scheduled waste hauling while also decreasing the company’s negative impact on the environment. Operating costs have been reduced by over $10,000 or 30% in the first year. Recycling has increased by 25%.
TVG Waste Solutions
