Cut compactor and hauling costs while recovering more value from every dock.
Warehouses are one of the highest-volume generators of OCC and film plastics in the supply chain. Between daily cardboard bales, stretch wrap, and distressed inventory, the back dock is a cost center that doesn't have to be.
What waste looks like without the right partner.
Cardboard and film piling up at the dock
OCC and stretch wrap are generated every shift. Without a consistent monthly buyer, they pile up in the yard, overflow the recycling container, or get landfilled with the trash.
Distressed, damaged, or expired inventory with no outlet
Warehouse returns, damaged goods, and expired branded inventory can't go to the dumpster — and can't be resold. ICTV handles secure destruction with Certificate of Destruction for brand protection.
Packaging compliance exposure you can't document
Packaging EPR obligations now exist in California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, and Maine. Distributors and 3PLs handling branded products have increasing documentation obligations.
Multiple recycling vendors with inconsistent service
When multiple vendors handle cardboard, film, and returns separately, you have three invoices and zero coordination. ICTV handles all three streams under one program.
The gap between standard service and what distribution, warehousing & 3pl operations actually need.
Compactor and pull-frequency audits never happen.
Most haulers set a pickup schedule at contract signing and never revisit it. Compactors run at 60% capacity on four-per-week pulls while you pay for service you don't need.
OCC and film go to landfill because no one tracks what's recoverable.
Generic waste programs treat cardboard and stretch wrap as trash unless a recycling bin is nearby. ICTV purchases both directly from your dock on program terms — before they become disposal costs.
Branded returns and distressed inventory have no chain-of-custody.
When branded goods go in a dumpster, they become an unauthorized resale risk. Haulers don't issue Certificates of Destruction — ICTV does, within 48 hours.

The compliance picture.
What these laws mean for distribution, warehousing & 3pl — in plain English.
Plastic packaging including stretch wrap and rigid plastics must be diverted from landfill. Applies to distributors and 3PLs handling plastic packaging.
Non-compliance risk
Documentation required for plastic packaging claims. Non-compliant facilities face enforcement after January 2027.
Four states now have producer responsibility programs for packaging. Distributors handling products sold in these states may have documentation obligations.
Non-compliance risk
Packaging fees, reporting obligations, and compliance requirements vary by state. Documentation of packaging recovery pathways is increasingly expected.
Businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of solid waste per week must have a recycling program in place.
Non-compliance risk
Fines for non-compliant operations. Documentation of recycling program required.
