Impact for you

WALTER offers secure, sustainable debranding solutions tailored to the needs of luxury, retail, and cosmetic brands. We partner with you to ensure each step aligns with your brand’s standards and sustainability goals:

We Collect: WALTER takes care of all logistics, arranging safe transport of branded items, props, and unsold inventory to our secure processing facility.

We Process with Care and Transparency: Upon arrival, branded items are inspected, documented, and debranded to protect your brand’s identity. Whether it’s point-of-sale displays for a luxury beverage brand or unsold cosmetics inventory, we apply safe, transparent processes that are fully traceable.

You Stay in Control: Clients maintain full control over their materials. For items suitable for donation, WALTER ensures they reach the nonprofit organizations of your choice. When recycling is preferred, we separate components by material stream to achieve the highest standards of waste diversion.

We Recycle Responsibly: Our hierarchy of practices maximizes environmental benefit:

  • Reuse: Where approved by the client, reusable items are donated to specified nonprofits.

  • Recycle: Each item is dismantled and recycled by component, helping luxury and retail brands minimize waste to landfill.

  • Energy Recovery: For materials that cannot be recycled, we utilize energy recovery as a last-resort option, always in alignment with client preferences.

Our tailored approach allows you to confidently meet sustainability goals, knowing your brand’s image is protected, and every material is handled responsibly.
