How Signature Market Achieved 70% Cost Savings with Transparent, Sustainable Waste Management.
A Malaysian e-commerce leader stopped paying to bin recyclables. Now recycling earns money back instead of sending a bill.

The problem, and what we did about it.
Vendor sent everything to landfill
Their existing hauler offered no recycling support, so recyclable packaging went straight to the dump.
Waste tracked by hand with no data
Collections were managed manually, with nothing to show how the programme was actually performing.
High disposal costs
Sending most waste straight to landfill kept disposal bills high and rising.
Introduced GarGeon Connect
Every collection is now scheduled, tracked, and reported digitally — so the team can see what is happening in real time.
Built a plan to divert carton, plastic, and wood
We designed a custom programme to route carton boxes, plastic, and wood away from landfill and into recycling.
Gave management the data to decide
Clear, live numbers let leadership measure progress and make informed, sustainable calls.
What changed on the ground.
70% cost savings on disposal
Diverting recyclables away from landfill cut disposal costs by 70%.
Full cost recovery and rebates
In the strongest months, recycling rebates covered the disposal bill entirely — and then earned money on top.
68,598 kg diverted in 2025
Across 2025, 68,598 kg of carton, timber, stretch film, paper and aluminium stayed out of landfill — every kilogram weighed and recorded in GarGeon Connect.
Up to 80% recycling rate
Most of their waste is now recovered, strengthening their sustainability goals.
Signature Market keeps tuning the programme — more materials diverted, and more rebate recovered each quarter.
