When Walgreens faced a mountain of idle coolers, we turned a challenge into an opportunity. 🚀 Instead of letting them gather dust, we redirected these coolers to local charities. Eddy from a grateful charity shared, “We’re thrilled with the 214 coolers—some are already with the fire department saving lives!” Have excess inventory? Let’s make it count and create impact together! Check out our website to dive into the full story and see how we’re making sustainability happen, one project at a time! 🤟🏼 https://lnkd.in/enh_EwRD #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #WasteLess #RepurposeWithPurpose

This is one of our kick-ass green wins of the week! 👊🏼🌱 Turning Dialysis Bags into a Lifeline for Animals! 🐾💚 We tackled the challenge of disposing excess dialysis transfusion bags—an environmental and financial hurdle for healthcare facilities. Our solution? Repurposing these bags to support animal shelters. Partnering with a Georgia animal shelter, we transformed what was once waste into essential care items for countless furry friends. This green win not only reduced waste but also made a positive impact on the environment and animal welfare. 🌍 Want to see more of our innovative solutions in action?
