Case Study: a European online retailer improves waste transparency with Anthesis

Anthesis supported a European online retailer to quantify its waste footprint and understand where waste was generated by its operations and in the downstream value chain

A European online retailer engaged Anthesis to quantify its Group waste footprint and increase transparency around where waste was generated within its operations and downstream value chain. The challenge was to gain a clearer understanding of its waste streams to effectively monitor progress toward its sustainability goals.

Anthesis implemented a detailed waste resource mapping solution, creating an inventory of waste types, quantities, and disposal routes while also researching relevant regulatory changes. This process identified crucial data gaps and provided actionable recommendations. The project served as a vital first step for the online retailer, enabling the business to understand its waste sources and set SMART waste targets as part of its sustainability strategy.
