Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (“Rubicon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
RBT), a leading provider of software-based waste, recycling, and
fleet operations products for businesses and governments worldwide,
today shared an update regarding the Company’s leadership in
implementing zero waste programs within its customer portfolio of
grocery stores and supermarkets.
Accomplishing zero waste is a challenging task for organizations
of all kinds due to the complexity and specificity of their
operations. This complexity is particularly pronounced in the
grocery category due to the range of materials in scope and their
use within store processes.
In Rubicon’s 2023 Corporate Citizenship Report, the Company
highlighted its work with one of the largest supermarket chains in
the country which saw 141,745 tons of material diverted away from
landfills in 2022 alone. This represented a diversion rate of more
than 80%, up from 62% at the inception of the partnership in 2016.
Through continuing to partner with Rubicon, the supermarket chain
has committed to reach a 95% diversion rate by 2025.
Rubicon’s multi-phased approach, known as “Sustainable Materials
Management” (SMM), involves the evaluation and reduction of a
customer’s waste stream to its smallest achievable volume by
adopting upstream sustainable business practices and downstream
waste reduction and recovery methodologies—all while identifying
opportunities to reduce operating costs, maximize commodity
revenue, minimize environmental impact, and ensure brand
protection.
“Using Rubicon’s structured approach to zero waste, our grocery
clients can anticipate a consistent push toward sustainability and
a high-percentage diversion rate,” said Ryan Cooper, Vice President
of Circular Economy Solutions at Rubicon. “With our continued
efforts and innovations, we’re helping to transform our customers’
operations and set new industry benchmarks. Together, we’re
creating a future where waste is not just reduced, but
intelligently repurposed for the betterment of our communities and
the planet.”
Unlike traditional waste management processes that prioritize
landfilling waste and recovering a small number of high-value
commodities, Rubicon’s differentiated “Integrated Solutions
Methodology” takes a total-system approach that not only looks
downstream at the waste generated, but also looks upstream at the
specific points-of-generation and the processes, operational
directives, and waste management policies that generate that waste.
This approach allows the Company to develop an end-to-end program
for each customer that identifies material sources, candidates for
elimination, and opportunities to combine material types when
available. The result of Rubicon’s process is a more effective,
longer-range strategic plan and better diversion outcomes.
Demand from waste generators for zero waste programs continues
to grow as their sustainability goals evolve and expand over time
through both internal pushes and external forces including state
and local regulations. Rubicon’s mail-back program, conducted in
partnership with g2 revolution, helps companies properly manage
their regulated or hard-to-recycle waste materials by providing
easy-to-use containers, a simple mail-back process, and transparent
landfill diversion reporting.
Rubicon has been at the forefront of the push for zero waste
since the Company’s founding, as shown in its work with retailers
outside the grocery category including helping a specialty retailer
reach TRUE zero waste certification at its reverse logistics center
in California, and its recent work with industry leaders using
asphalt shingles, mushrooms, and mycoremediation technology to
reduce construction and demolition waste in order to produce a
sustainable and reusable product to create a more circular
economy.
For more information on how Rubicon is deploying its
market-leading technology products to equip businesses, local
governments, and haulers with the tools and software they need to
support zero waste programs, improve recycling rates, and meet
sustainability goals and regulations, visit the enterprises,
governments, and haulers pages on the Company’s website.
