CHALLENGE

An international document destruction company was plagued with a stagnant market price for its recycled
paper.

THE OPPORTUNITY

To perform brokerage services for their tons and substantially improve both price and payment turnaround time.

THE GOAL

To use Talismark’s knowledge of recycling market practices to sign the fiber processor to a set
percentage of market price, less a per-ton processing cost.

THE SOLUTION

The document destruction company’s revenues were stabilized with monthly checks instead of sporadic
payments, and the price per ton received for their commodity doubled.

THE RESULTS

Improvement in commodity value: 100%.
