Case Study 1: Luxury Brand – Window Merchandising Decommissioning

Challenge: A luxury brand, committed to sustainability sought a controlled solution to decommission their seasonal window merchandising displays, ensuring brand security and minimal environmental impact.

Solution: WALTER received and documented all items, debranding each piece and processing it for recycling or reuse. The client also received full photo documentation and a narrative report detailing each stage of the process.

Results:

  • Controlled, Transparent Disposal: A step-by-step documented process reassured the client of secure disposal.
  • Brand Security: All branded items were debranded to prevent unauthorized reuse.
  • Community Impact: Select items were donated to NYC nonprofits, supporting local initiatives aligned with the client’s values.

 

Case Study 2: Sol De Janeiro – Unsold Inventory Management

Challenge: Sol De Janeiro required a reliable, ongoing solution for managing unsold inventory, including creams, oils, and plastic containers, while ensuring brand security.

Solution: WALTER collected and sorted the items by material type. Containers were safely debranded and plastics were recycled through certified partners. Products unsuitable for recycling were processed via energy recovery.

Results:

  • Brand Protection: Secure debranding ensured no branded materials re-entered the market.
  • Environmental Impact: Plastics was responsibly recycled, while creams and oils contributed to energy recovery initiatives.
  • Data Transparency: Real-time data on environmental impact and waste metrics was available to support the client’s ESG reporting.

Case Study 3: Luxury Beverage Brand – Sustainable POS Merchandising Disposal

Challenge: A luxury beverage brand accumulated a large volume of point-of-sale (POS) and event merchandising materials over the years, stored across facilities in New York City and New Jersey. They needed a secure, environmentally friendly solution to dispose of these items without compromising their brand.

Solution: WALTER assessed the items, organized transport, and safely removed and debranded all branded materials. Items were then sorted for reuse, donation, or recycling in collaboration with certified outlets.

Results:

  • Responsible Disposal: Maximal waste diversion through certified recycling and nonprofit donations.
  • Real-Time Reporting: The client received real-time updates on CO₂ savings and waste diversion metrics via WALTER’s digital tracking system.
