Leader Price
Retail Food
Leader Price chose a waste solution with balers from Bramidan,
which met their logistic needs and saved 30% of their waste handling costs.
MAJOR DISCOUNT CHAIN LEADER PRICE FOUND BALER SOLUTION TO
HANDLE THEIR WASTE
When discount retail food chain giant, Leader Price, was looking for an efficient waste handling solution to replace their current rotocompactor, they chose Bramidan balers.
Says Leader Price buyer, Mr Cresson, Rotocompactors are an expensive investment requiring a full service contract as
the machines need to be checked every
quarter. Thats another 700 per year for
each unit.'
To that can be added the expense of consumables – 1,100-liter plastic bags are
used for both plastic and cardboard
waste and must be replaced regularly.
tenance costs were also significantly reduced as the super-reliable balers only
require servicing annually.
On the production side, Bramidan balers
have contributed to an increase in the
value of cardboard, since the material is
no longer moistened with water. Moreover, Leader Price stores can now stack up
to three bales in their warehouse. This reduces the average number of collections
to one a week.
About Leader Price
With a 700m2 sales area - slightly above
the average floor area of its competitors
- Leader Price is two to four times bigger
than traditional discount operations.
Today, the company has more than 550
stores throughout France and aims to
have over 1,000 outlets operational by
2014.
Meeting logistical needs
The logistical challenges were also becoming critical. Leader Price staff faced ongoing problems stacking the rounded
cardboard bags. As storage capacity is limited, this necessitated an increasing
number of collections.
Working conditions were also seriously
compromised with the rotocompactor,
as the machines need water to prevent
dust from spreading inside the warehouse while cardboard is being smashed.
This solution was no longer viable environmentally, given possible water shortages,' Mr Cresson explained.
The solution – and 30% saved!
By choosing the Bramidan B20 and X25
balers, Leader Price was able to cut down
costs on new equipment by 30%. Main-
Today, both cardboard and plastics are
being compacted with the same machine,
resulting in significant space savings as
the footprints of the B20 and X25AD are
much lower than the rotocompactors.
Best of all, staff are now enjoying better
working conditions. The new balers are
less noisy than their predecessors and
drier too – eliminating the odor problems
associated with mould.
Clear benefits
For Leader Price this waste solution offers
clear benefits: A rational investment with
savings on many levels – from maintenance costs to increased revenues for
waste materials. They also had more available space for storage and improved
working environment.
