Granngården
An operations-led result: combustible waste fell from 40% to 15% and unsorted waste from 15% to 5–8%.
See ERA Group's original case study ↗- Combustible waste: from 40% to 15%.
- Unsorted waste: from 15% to 5–8%.
- Improved sorting with effect on both cost and environmental reporting.
Granngården operates stores across Sweden. Waste in retail is partly a cost question and partly a question of in-store routines: how material is sorted determines which treatment is invoiced.
ERA Group's engagement produced mainly an operational result. The share of combustible waste fell from 40% to 15%, and unsorted waste from 15% to 5–8%. This case illustrates that the improvement sometimes sits in the way of working rather than in the contract — and that a change in sorting affects both cost and environmental reporting.
The case study is ERA Group's own and is available as a PDF in Swedish. JMF Europe summarises it here.
Why it is relevant
Relevant for retail and multi-site operations where waste handling depends on routines in local day-to-day work.
This is an ERA Group case study, not an assignment carried out by JMF Europe. JMF Europe works within ERA Group and uses the same methodology, category specialists and market data. The results relate to that company's circumstances and are not an outcome promise.
