Based in Wellingborough, near Northampton, IFCO provides sustainable pooling and reusable packaging solutions for retailers of fresh grocery products. They use the share-reuse-recycle model to reduce waste and CO2 by creating sustainable, recyclable packaging that takes fresh produce from the producer, straight to the point of sale, such as a supermarket. The empty crates are then returned to IFCO, where they are cleaned and reused, or recycled into new packaging if damaged.
Dial a Bin supports IFCO with waste reduction by regularly servicing their waste compactor to ensure it operates to maximum efficiency. This is used to compact waste material as much as possible, by squeezing the waste as small as possible in order to take up less space. This makes it easier to store or dispose of waste by reducing the number of collections required due to its compressed side. Dial a Bin collects the waste from IFCO on a weekly basis. As the IFCO has a continual cycle of packaging entering and exiting the premises, it is important that Dial a Bin collects the waste in a timely manner, to prevent any disruptions to their production/waste cycle.

This waste is then taken to a transfer station, where it is weighed and screened to determine the quality of its contents. The waste is then reloaded onto larger transport vehicles where it is then taken to waste-to-energy facilities, where the waste serves a final purpose in the form of creating energy. Each step in the process is focused on minimising landfill waste while also reducing CO2 emissions from excessive transportation trips.
