Driving sustainability with innovative recycling solutions
At AIT Worldwide Logistics, we are committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to our customers. For example, our team in Phoenix is partnering with a global beverage client to address the challenge of managing damaged or returned coolers, which could otherwise contribute to wasteful inefficiency in the customer’s supply chain. 

When the customer needs to swap a cooler, AIT deploys ground transportation to pick up the end-of-life or broken unit and brings it back to our warehouse in Phoenix. There, the coolers are consolidated into full truckloads and sent to designated recycling centers in Houston and Reno, Nev. for decommissioning, recycling and, if possible, repairs. 

Since the program began, the AIT-Phoenix team has delivered 12 truckloads, totaling 678 coolers, to recycling facilities. This initiative supports the customer’s can-to-cooler recycling goals, including a commitment to ensuring that harmful refrigerants and other materials are disposed of properly. The reverse logistics process also highlights AIT's dedication to minimizing waste and providing cost-effective asset recovery solutions.
