Case Study: Hornbach achieves automated, compliant recycling management with Resourcify

HORNBACH Baumarkt AG Achieves Ambitious Recycling Goals through Digitisation

HORNBACH Baumarkt AG, a major DIY and garden center retailer, faced the complex challenge of managing a wide variety of waste types and recycling routes across its network of over 190 collection points and 70 disposal companies in Europe. Seeking to digitize its waste management and achieve ambitious recycling goals, the company partnered with Resourcify to find a solution.

Resourcify implemented its digital recycling platform to automate and centralize HORNBACH's waste management processes. The solution processed 33,000 orders in its first year, streamlining administration, ensuring legal compliance, and providing transparent documentation. This allowed HORNBACH to save on expenditure, generate additional revenue from recyclables, and significantly reduce the administrative effort required to manage its Europe-wide operations.
