Retail / Multi-Site Operators
Waste programs only work if employees know how to use them.
Ridright gives every employee at every location a fast, facility-specific answer to 'where does this go?' — so the recycling infrastructure you've invested in actually performs the way it's supposed to.
The Challenge
What operations and sustainability teams are dealing with
Multi-site retailers and food service operators invest in recycling and waste diversion programs that depend on employees sorting correctly, in real time, in a fast-paced environment. But sorting correctly requires knowing what your specific facility accepts — and in most organizations, that knowledge doesn't exist where it needs to: at the bin, in the moment, for the employee who's holding something and needs to decide right now.
Corporate sustainability programs don't account for local variation
Your stores operate under different haulers in different markets, with different accepted materials at each location. A single company-wide recycling poster in the breakroom gives employees general guidance that doesn't match what their specific facility actually accepts. Employees follow it anyway. Contamination follows them.
Contamination is eroding the value of your programs
When employees sort incorrectly — plastic bags in the recycling, food waste in the wrong container, hazardous items in general trash — contaminated loads get rejected or downgraded. Your actual diversion rate is lower than your program is designed to deliver, and the gap is invisible until something goes wrong.
You can't report on waste diversion without reliable behavioral data
ESG reporting, investor disclosures, and internal sustainability dashboards ask for waste diversion performance. But if your data comes from estimated tonnage and program assumptions rather than actual employee behavior and material tracking, your numbers are approximations you'll eventually have to defend.
New store openings mean starting the education process from scratch
Every new location means getting employees up to speed on local waste sorting — different rules, different bins, different hauler. Right now that happens through orientation materials and hope. There's no system that configures for the new location and just works.
What Ridright Does About It
Location-specific disposal guidance for every employee at every site — managed from one system, accurate without manual updates.
Ridright deploys at each of your locations with guidance configured for that facility's actual programs. Employees search any item on a tablet, kiosk, or their phone and get an accurate answer for where they are. Your sustainability or operations team manages all locations from one admin dashboard — standardizing where possible, customizing where necessary.
Location-specific guidance employees can access in the moment
Deploy Ridright at each location through your intranet, a QR code on the bin, or a breakroom kiosk. Employees search any item and get an answer that reflects what that specific facility's hauler accepts and what that building's programs support. Not general guidance — the right answer for this store, right now.
Per-location configuration, one admin system
Configure acceptance rules, bin types, and disposal guidance for each facility from a central dashboard. Standardize what's the same across locations. Customize what's different. When a hauler changes their acceptance list at a regional cluster of stores, update those locations once.
Customer-facing guidance for in-store recycling programs
For locations with public-facing recycling stations or take-back programs, Ridright can be deployed for customers as well. Same tool, same data, same accuracy — presented for a customer audience.
Analytics that strengthen your ESG data
See which materials generate the most confusion by location, which categories are underutilized, and how engagement trends across your store base over time. Use that behavioral data to target training, prioritize program fixes, and give your sustainability reporting a real foundation.
In-store outreach that matches your digital guidance
The Outreach Toolkit generates bin labels, breakroom posters, and onboarding materials drawn from each facility's actual data. The signage says the same thing as the search tool. New employees get consistent, accurate information from day one.
