Case Study: Reducing Waste and Costs for a Leading Greek Yogurt Company

Squiz® Station: Reducing Waste, Lowering Costs

The Challenge

A leading Greek yogurt company relied on 400 IBCs and more than 15,000 liners per year. Their process left significant amounts of yogurt residue behind in each liner — up to 20 kg per tote.

This waste created major problems:

  • Significant six-figure losses in product every year
  • Additional liner and container costs
  • Labor-intensive handling that required dedicated operators
  • Operator health and safety risks tied to heavy, manual discharge
  • Sustainability concerns from wasted product and excess packaging use

The Solution

The company introduced the Squiz Station across its production lines, paired with Squiz liners designed for maximum evacuation. By pneumatically compressing liners in sync with product flow, the Squiz Station dramatically reduced residue while eliminating the need for manual liner handling.

The Results

The impact was immediate and measurable:

  • Residue reduced by 90% — from 20 kg per liner to as little as 2 kg
  • Six-figure annual savings from reduced waste
  • Labor savings as manual liner handling was eliminated
  • Lower liner and container usage, improving cost efficiency
  • Improved sustainability performance, with less product loss and less packaging waste

Within the first year, the company cut its operating costs nearly in half — a transformation with both immediate and long-term impact.

Beyond the financial results, the project addressed two pressing corporate priorities:

  • Health & Safety: Removing manual discharge reduced operator strain and injury risk.
  • Sustainability: Lower waste and fewer liners supported the company’s environmental goals.

The Bigger Picture

By implementing the Squiz Station, this Greek yogurt producer transformed its IBC operations from a costly pain point into a driver of efficiency and savings. With residue minimized, costs reduced, and safety improved, the company achieved immediate ROI while positioning itself for continued growth with greater efficiency and sustainability.
