Part of our ongoing commitment to waste reduction takes us to events like the Recycling Council of British Columbia’s annual conference, where we find out about leading technologies for helping us to make our good waste work better.
That’s how we learned about Re-TRAC, an exciting waste diversion software program that lets us track our waste numbers right down to the store level.
In early 2015, London Drugs adopted Re-TRAC Tracker as our waste diversion tracking system. Within a week of the first training session, all 78 stores and our service providers were tracking data in Re-TRAC Connect.
Now the London Drugs team can generate reports to see exactly what materials are being recycled at each store and how that contributes to our overall sustainability goals. We can compare performance across store locations, measure any trends, and monitor progress towards achieving our 95% diversion rate target.
If you want to learn more about the London Drugs Re-TRAC story, you can read our full case study on the Re-TRAC website.
And remember, you can always contribute to our waste diversion total just by recycling at London Drugs!
