CASE STUDIES

Bottler
A logistics company responsible for the storage and distribution of retail displays decided to destroy a large number of obsolete, plastic kiosks. The units contained parts that would contaminate the ground plastic. After careful inspection, RMI developed a specification and plan for dismantling and transporting the units to RMI's facility. The customer was paid for the scrapped units.

Bakery
A bakery asked RMI to evaluate its recycling efforts. Basically, the bakery followed no program, and management felt guilty about their waste. They also wanted to lower their landfill fees.

RMI agreed to take the plastic waste and provided a baler to process the plastic film packaging. Not only that, but because RMI is able to handle multiple materials, RMI agreed to buy the aluminum foil scrap at a price almost twice what the bakery had been receiving.

Distribution Center
A DC that serves a chain of retail stores was storing large numbers of damaged tote boxes and crates. They contacted RMI in order to dispose of the useless items, free up storage, and generate income. Even though the crates contained metal hinges--a contaminant--RMI managed to establish a recycling program that paid the distribution center for the damaged crates.

During a subsequent plant visit, RMI questioned the company's handling of stretch film waste. Tests are currently being conducted to determine the quantity of film being thrown away. We expect further significant reduction of disposal fees upon implementation of a stretch film recycling program.
