WASTE & RECYCLING MANAGEMENT

WHEN THE STATUS QUO FALLS SHORT

Disconnected vendors, inconsistent service, and fragmented reporting make waste programs difficult to manage across multiple facilities. Without clear accountability and aligned data, organizations struggle to control costs, resolve service issues, or confidently measure sustainability progress.

TOTAL WASTE SOLUTIONS, SIMPLIFIED

Northstar replaces fragmented vendors with one managed program that improves service, clarifies reporting, and drives continuous improvement that reduces costs and increases landfill diversion.

Proven Results Across Complex, Multi-Site Programs

Seven-Figure Savings, Scaled to 70+ Locations

This multi-billion-dollar manufacturer of candy, pet food, and other food products partnered with Northstar to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill across 17 U.S. facilities, where only 7% of non-organic waste was being diverted.

Northstar reached Zero Landfill in under a year at all 17 sites and reduced waste costs by more than $1.1 million. Today, Northstar manages a national Zero Landfill program across 70+ locations, covering both organic and non-organic streams.

Eliminating $1M in Waste Transport

Northstar Recycling works with many of the top mattress manufacturers across the country, including this leading luxury brand that was spending over $1 million annually to transport waste materials between internal locations.

Within 6 months of implementing Northstar’s customized program, this client was recycling directly from each of their locations— eliminating transportation costs.
Additionally, Northstar developed and implemented a plan to recycle almost all materials that were previously being sent to landfills.
Today, Northstar successfully manages Zero Landfill programs at this company’s manufacturing, distribution, and research facilities.

Turning a Non-Recyclable Film

This top-selling beverage company turned to Northstar to reduce trash and increase recycling across its operations. One challenge was a film material previously considered non-recyclable, limiting the company’s ability to divert waste from landfill.

Northstar identified a recycling solution for the film and standardized the client’s separation and sorting processes to reduce contamination. Within two years, the client exceeded its objectives — doubling recycling and cutting trash in half. Today, Northstar manages waste and recycling across all five U.S. production facilities.

Accelerating Zero Landfill with 690

This fast food restaurant supplier needed immediate help because they were not reaching their Zero Waste to Landfill goals.

Utilizing training sessions, signage, and strategically placed recycling containers, Northstar helped this client divert over 690 tons of recoverable goods within the first 18 months of partnership.
Northstar continues to help achieve and maintain their Zero Landfill goals with ongoing training and on-site consultations.
