Boosting Recycling Efficiency for a Leading UK E-Commerce Fulfilment Provider
Updated: Sep 26
How high-performance refurbished compactors helped a multi-site logistics giant scale its repackaging and waste management operations.
The Client: A Powerhouse in UK E-Commerce Logistics
Founded in 2015, this logistics specialist is a key player in UK e-commerce fulfilment, operating over 2 million sq ft of warehousing across Central England. Supporting global giants like Amazon and eBay, they manage complex last-mile delivery networks in partnership with DPD, Royal Mail, and Hermes (Evri).
The Challenge: Managing High-Volume Packaging Waste
With the explosion of online retail, the client faced a massive increase in repackaging waste and recycling demands. To maintain 24/7 throughput across eight different sites, they required a waste management solution that was:
Space-Efficient: Capable of loading from a dock to save floor space.
High Volume: Equipped with open-top hoppers for rapid loading.
Environmentally Sustainable: Aligning with green logistics goals through high-quality refurbished machinery.
The Solution: Thetford Refurbished Industrial Compactors
We deployed a fleet of Thetford refurbished compactors across eight strategic locations. By choosing refurbished units, the client achieved a "like-new" performance with a lower carbon footprint and faster delivery times.
Key features of the installation included:
Seamless Dock Integration: Custom-configured for dock-level loading to streamline warehouse flow.
Robust Build Quality: Engineering that stands up to the rigours of 24/7 e-commerce distribution.
Total Support Package: Guaranteed 24/7 maintenance and backup to ensure zero operational downtime.
The Result: Scalable Recycling & 24/7 Reliability
The partnership has transformed the client’s waste handling into a streamlined, cost-effective operation.
Operational Success: Eight sites are now fully operational with Thetford equipment.
Proven Longevity: The refurbished units serve as a testament to Thetford’s manufacturing quality and after-sales excellence.
Sustainable Scaling: The client can now handle peak seasonal demands (like Black Friday and Christmas) without waste bottlenecks.
