Impact for you
WALTER's debranding capabilities unlock new opportunities for clients looking to manage unsellable, returned, or obsolete inventory responsibly — without putting their brand at risk.
Whether you're clearing out expired products, old packaging, or discontinued SKUs, we provide secure, scalable debranding solutions that remove logos, labels, and brand identifiers from goods — protecting your reputation and IP while keeping those materials out of landfills.
Once debranded, materials can be rerouted for responsible next steps: donation, certified recycling, or waste-to-energy — even unlocking potential tax incentives, ESG reporting benefits, or circular storytelling opportunities.
And because WALTER is an end-to-end partner, we don’t stop at debranding. We manage the full downstream solution — from pickup coordination and on-site removal, to secure material handling, vendor relationships, reporting, and impact tracking.
One vendor. One process. One solution.
It’s the simplest way to shift from risk to recovery, while meeting your operational, sustainability, and compliance goals in one go.
