Trim operational waste, rethink food waste and protect your brand with a Wingspan customized recycling program.
An estimated 40% of all food in the U.S. goes to waste. Not surprising, the pressure on food manufacturers and distributors to shrink their environmental footprint and adopt more sustainable practices is high. When your food is damaged, recalled or exceeds its expiration date, Wingspan helps you put it back into the circular economy. Instead of adding food and packaging to a landfill, turn your organic waste into fuel, animal feed or a natural soil amendment (e.g., mulch or compost).
How effective is Wingspan recycling in helping you embrace the circular economy? We can verify that 97%-98% of all organic matter is removed or separated from any inorganic package we handle — creating more opportunities for lasting value. (We don’t want anything going into a landfill.)
Based on your goals and needs, we build and execute a customized program that puts supply chain processes in place to manage waste through recovery and recycling. Think you have an unusual job to unravel? We love solving those tougher-than-most challenges.
When you have expired or quality-degraded goods, Wingspan can assure you of total secured product destruction. This is critical because once a product leaves your facility, it is impossible to track every single jar, box or bag. And it’s not uncommon for expired foods or damaged goods to find their way from landfills back on the market. Your Wingspan recycling program helps protect you from FDA and USDA compliance issues, as well as illegal reselling and consumption.
