Use a baler to sort and bundle recyclables
Balers make recycling easy. They are used in waste management processes to sort and bundle recyclables, like paper, cardboard, and plastics, into bales. By baling your retail waste, you will also be able to neatly store it while awaiting collection.
We offer a number of different types of baler for retail waste management including:
Retail businesses must also ensure they are complying with the 2011 Waste Management Legislation. This legislation requires companies to recycle materials wherever possible, reducing the impact on the environment and providing greener working conditions.
A phs Wastekit survey showed that the average business in the retail sector produces 340kg of waste cardboard every week*. This is a lot of waste to manage and dispose of in an environmentally friendly way.
We can help you choose the right baler for your retail business when you speak to us and carry out our free waste saving audit. You can also read more in our ultimate guide to baler machines.
Use a compactor to reduce waste volumes
Space is often the number one issue when it comes to retail environments. By adding a compactor to you retail waste management processes, your business will be able to turn large amounts of general waste into tightly compressed cubes.
When waste is not compacted, bins are often full of air and unused space. Using a compactor will reduce the volume of general waste your business sends to landfill, by using every inch of available space.
Choose from a range of different compactors, including:
Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill will also reduce the frequency of your waste collection. As waste is collected by road vehicles, this will reduce the carbon footprint of your business.
