Addressing Environmental Concerns
Abandoned carts are more than a nuisance, they’re an environmental hazard. Left in waterways or streets, they contribute to pollution and resource waste. By adopting smart management systems like sMart Lock™, you can reduce your store’s carbon footprint. Imagine cutting down on the 2.6kg of CO2 emissions per litre of diesel historically used to retrieve carts. That’s a change you and your community can be proud of.
Community Benefits
When carts go missing, it’s not just your problem. They block footpaths and clutter up neighbourhoods, becoming eyesores and hazards. Implementing TDMN’s solutions ensures your store is a good neighbour. The community sees your commitment to creating a cleaner, safer environment, building goodwill and a positive brand image. Most people underestimate the impact, but you can lead by example.
