Their challenge
Before partnering with ClimateCamp, DW Reusables faced a major challenge—they had never conducted carbon accounting and needed guidance in both planning and execution. While they specialized in sustainable, recyclable plastics, they lacked a structured approach to sustainability reporting.
Additionally, frequent customer requests for sustainability data highlighted gaps in their information, making it difficult to respond effectively. These challenges hindered their ability to assess overall sustainability performance and set meaningful goals. ClimateCamp provided the expertise and tools to bridge these gaps, enabling DW Reusables to take concrete steps toward sustainability.
Climatecamp's solution
In January 2024, DW Reusables partnered with ClimateCamp on carbon accounting, led by their Maintenance & Technical Development Manager. The collaboration followed a structured approach to support DW Reusables’ ambitious sustainability goals:
Comprehensive Emissions Calculation: ClimateCamp helped calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, providing a clear picture of DW Reusables’ carbon footprint.
Hands-on Support: Frequent meetings and close collaboration ensured accurate data collection, efficient organization, and immediate value creation.
Streamlined Sustainability Reporting: With frequent customer requests for sustainability data, ClimateCamp handled data sharing, minimizing the workload for DW Reusables.
By leveraging ClimateCamp’s expertise, DW Reusables gained deeper insights into its environmental impact and improved its ability to respond to sustainability inquiries efficiently.
“Our collaboration with Climate Camp is incredibly valuable. Their expertise in measuring and analysing carbon emissions, has provided us with critical insights and significantly contributes to the satisfaction of our customers.# - Tomislav Palajsa, Maintenance and Technical Development DW reusables
The results
ClimateCamp helps DW Reusables collect emissions data, including Scope 3, to better understand their environmental impact. By automating surveys, data collection, and analysis, ClimateCamp significantly reduced employee workload, allowing the team to focus on critical tasks and meet deadlines efficiently.
The collaboration also benefited DW Reusables’ suppliers, who praised ClimateCamp’s fast and efficient technology and dedicated customer support. DW’s team appreciated how ClimateCamp’s solutions streamlined their processes, making sustainability efforts easier and more effective.
This partnership highlights the power of smart solutions and collaboration in driving sustainability. By engaging suppliers and refining sustainability accounting, DW Reusables and ClimateCamp are paving the way for a greener future.
