Cut Costs at the Core: Eliminate Waste Before It Starts

For nearly 25 years, SSC has empowered hundreds of companies to achieve substantial cost savings by reducing and eliminating waste. Through implementing smart processes for tracking and measuring, strategic solutions for even the most challenging waste streams, and connections to our extensive network of MMOs, we turn waste into opportunity.

But our true strength lies in waste minimization at the source. SSC partners with companies to re-engineer processes, remove inefficiencies, and prevent waste before it starts—because that’s where the significant cost savings are realized.
