Why should you use a waste recycling baler? 

Businesses have an obligation to reduce their waste output. The latest recycling facts and figures show that England is failing to meet its recycling targets, making it all the more important for businesses to play their part. 

 

Finding effective waste management processes can help your business handle its waste easier. Using a waste baler is a simple way to reduce the amount of waste cluttering up your workplace, making it much easier to manage. Recycling balers are ideal ways to organise your recycling, ready for collection. The fewer collections you have, the less it will cost you – meaning you also save your business money. 

 

Businesses should be looking at all of the options for how to recycle more and waste less. Equipment like a waste baler is affordable and easy to use, and could make a big difference to your business. 

The benefits of a waste baler for your business 

There are a lot of benefits to be enjoyed with a waste baler. Many people will benefit from your use of a waste baler, thanks to the impact it can have on the environment. Some of the main benefits of a waste baler include: 

Save money for your business 

Waste disposal is expensive. If you’re a business that deals with a lot of waste, you can expect to pay a lot in Landfill Tax and other costs. Using a waste baler, however, will help you recycle more, helping to save your business money. 

Earn money for your business 

A waste baler can also help you make money. You can make money from your cardboard waste, earning as much as £143 per tonne. If your business is being impacted by inflation and rising costs, this could be one way to ease some of the pressure. 

Save space and reduce clutter 

Dealing with waste can be a large source of frustration for business owners. Waste can accumulate quickly, creating mess and clutter that can cause hazards – in addition to looking unprofessional. Recycling balers will help you keep your waste more organised, saving space until collection. 

Easy to use 

Waste balers are incredibly easy to use. With a small amount of training, your employees will be able to operate your baler to allow you to start using your baler straight away. 

Available to rent or buy 

There are flexible options available for your baler needs. You can rent or buy a baler, helping you choose a product that suits your business’ budget and circumstances. 

The disposal process

  1. Your baler will be safely installed by one of our fully trained installation engineers.
  2. You will be provided with detailed instruction and training on how to safely operate the waste recycling baler.
  3. Once you have your cardboard or plastic waste for baling, you're ready to start.
  4. Open the door and feed the bale strapping through the machine, ready for the cardboard and plastic waste.
  5. Add your cardboard or plastic waste into the baling chamber where it will be pressed under force to form the bale.
  6. Close the baling chamber door. In some machines, the Autostart function will begin.
  7. The cardboard or plastic material is pressed under extreme pressure to form a tight bale.
  8. When full, the control panel will notify the user. Open the door and tie off the bale strapping to secure the bale.
  9. You are now ready to remove the bale safely from the press chamber, using a bale trolley.
  10. The bale is now ready to be collected for recycling.
