Benefits of ATC’s Reverse Logistics Service

One of our company values is sustainability, which means that central to our operations is ensuring that our methods and materials leave as little as a mark on our environment.

Our reverse logistics service focuses on removing and recycling packaging that is left after a data center deployment. This service applies to Hyperscalers, Freight Forwarders and Cloud Based Companies.

We follow three well-known principles under this service; Reduce, Re-use, Recycle.

Why Choose ATC as Your Reverse Logistics Manager


Reduce Packaging Waste

ATC works with a certified global packaging partner to introduce lightweight, recyclable packaging solutions to ensure your inventory remain secure while protecting the environment.

Re-use Packaging

As the title “Reverse Logistics” says, we transport the empty packaging back through our supply chain to its point of origin in consolidated shipments, where you can opt to re-purpose this packaging for further distribution.

Recycle Packaging

Our goal is to reduce the use of single-use plastic in our materials. Any returned packaging that does not fall within the “Re-use” category is put forward for recycling.

  • Protecting our environment for future generations is a priority for my team and me. Through continuous investment in our fleet and operations, ATC supports our clients’ sustainability goals and helps drive the data center logistics industry toward a cleaner and safer future.

ATC’s Reverse Logistics Process

  • Step 1: Meet with Client

    ATC meets with the client to establish what the empty packaging will be used for post-deployment.

  • Step 2: Separate Packaging

    The ATC team gathers and separates the packaging that is to be re-used from the recycle pile and loads onto truck.

  • Step 3: Transport

    The empty packaging is taken back by ATC to assigned location. It is important to note that at this stage, we consolidate all the waste items to be recycled into separate bundles and ensure we have a "full trailer" before the final run for sustainability purposes.

  • Step 4: Usage

    Packaging is either re-used for further deployments or put in for recycling.
