5 Ways You Can Save Money with A Baler and Compactor
Effective waste management offers a quick and easy way to save money and space.
Your rubbish may not be an obvious thought when exploring cost saving initiatives. But working to create a more efficient waste disposal process for your business will help save money and ensure resources are being used as efficiently as possible.
How can businesses better manage their waste?
By incorporating a baler and compactor into your waste management process you can take the first step towards reducing costs associated with waste disposal.
Even small businesses can produce a lot of waste, so phs Wastekit are here to help everyone from SMEs to large corporate premises. Providing businesses of all sizes with efficient and cost-effective waste handling solutions.
Compactors are a long-term solution to waste management issues and can reduce your general waste volumes by up to 90%, whilst Balers are perfect for dealing with large volumes of plastic, cardboard, or paper waste.
Here are five ways your business can save money with a baler and compactor:
1. Make the most of the UK gov tax relief initiative – before 31 March 2023
Capital allowance is a tax relief you can claim on assets purchased for your business. It mainly applies to larger capital purchases, such as essential machinery.
A tax relief initiative from UK government allows phs Wastekit customers, who pay corporation tax, a tax relief super-deduction that will provide a capital allowance of 130% on new plant and machinery investments, in comparison to the usual 18%.
2. Pay less landfill tax
Every year, the UK Government increases its Landfill Tax, which is the tax you pay on top of your normal landfill fees if your business gets rid of waste using landfill sites, in order to encourage more sustainable practices. You can help reduce your waste management costs by looking for more sustainable waste disposal methods.
Balers and compactors can be used to help segregate waste into revenue earning categories, whilst reducing the overall size of general waste going to landfill.
Correct sorting will boost the amount of waste sent for recycling.
3 . Be proactive with servicing and maintenance
If you’re investing in new machinery, it’s important to look after it.
At phs Wastekit, we have developed 4 distinct servicing plans to suit the ever-changing needs of businesses. Please contact us for more information on our Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Shield service packages.
Specialist training should also form part of your maintenance plan. Research by phs Wastekit has found that 35% of baler breakdowns are caused by operator misuse. Baler training can reduce downtime on a machine and save costs for mishandling. Contact us now to discuss how our City & Guilds assured Vertical Baler Training can help your business.
4. Free up employee time
Balers and compactor machines will promote a safe and efficient workplace, that should significantly reduce the amount of time employees spend dealing with your waste. This will free up time for employees to focus on other tasks.
5. Sell your waste
By simply throwing away of all your waste, you could also be throwing away another income stream.
Card and plastic can both generate significant incomes, as many recycling companies are happy to pay for cardboard and plastic. In addition to this there are also opportunities to sell waste for use as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).
