ARKANSAS, USA — Organic recycling company Denali Water Solutions LLC of Russellville on Monday announced that it’s rolling out new depackaging technology at thousands of Walmart and Sam’s Club stores to help the retailers reduce food waste.
The technology separates food from packaging materials like plastic and cardboard, producing a “cleaner stream” of organic material that can be turned into animal feed or compost, Denali said in a news release. By avoiding the process of manually separating food from its packaging, it makes it easier to recycle and reuse food waste while freeing up time for retailers.
Denali said Walmart is one of the first retailers to use the new technology at scale. The program has launched in more than 1,400 Walmart and Sam’s Club locations in more than 16 markets across the U.S., with plans to continue the rollout nationwide into 2025.
