Schupan Recycling - Philosophy
OUR APPROACH HAS BEEN BUILT ON THREE CORE PRINCIPLES:


UNDERSTANDING OUR CUSTOMER
Schupan Recycling has evolved over the years in direct response to customer needs:

Our densifier program-complete with equipment, maintenance support, transportation and marketing services-was designed to meet the needs of distributors who wanted on-site ability to convert Used Beverage Containers to marketable scrap.

Our bag processing program was built in response to Distributors who wanted to reduce the handling of Used Beverage Containers returned to their warehouse.

Our unique third party program was created in conjunction with TOMRA as an industry solution for retailers who wanted an improved approach to handling billions of containers returned to them each year.

Along the way, Schupan has used customer needs as the primary guide to shaping our growth. In fact, we have grown in direct proportion to our ability to meet or exceed customer service requirements.


BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS ON TRUST
In all of our dealings with customers, trust is a key ingredient:

Whether we are transporting, buying, or selling processed beverage containers, Schupan’s detailed tracking capabilities give our customers an open book on where they stand on a daily basis.

The special partnership of UBCR is in part possible because each of the distinct parties recognizes Schupan’s integrity.

The development of UBCR, LLC could never have taken place without a strong foundation of trust. UBCR’s partners (soft-drink and beer distributors; Retailers; Reverse Vending Machine providers) all have varying concerns and interests when handling Used Beverage Containers. Because of Schupan’s reputation and relationship with each partner, the program has exceeded all operational expectations.

No matter the customer or the relationship, or whether we serve as processors or marketers, Schupan Recycling is proud of the fact that each and every relationship thrives on trust.


IMPROVING PROCESS THROUGH CONTINUAL REENGINEERING
Schupan maintains the highest possible performance levels:

Our processing sites are geared for peak summertime performance and convert billions of containers to bales and biscuits or shred each year.

We continually rethink, refine and reengineer our processes in an effort to optimize both our productivity and customer satisfaction.

We adhere to the same standard for our marketing services.

We provide detailed documentation to each customer so they have a clear picture of the volume and value of their material.

All loads of processed and/or purchased material are tracked in terms of weight, shipment, pricing, etc.-each customer has a complete picture of the composition, status and value of their material.
